Biological interrelations between the agent of microsporidiosis of the silkworm and local species of insects were studied. 7 species of Lepidoptera (Agrotis segetum, Chloridea obsoleta, Laphygma exigua, Plusia gamma, Pieris brassicae, P. rapae, Lymantria dispar) were infected with the suspension of Nosema bombycis spores. Results have shown that 6 species of insects are susceptible to Nosema bombycis excluding only the gipsy moth. So, N. bombycis can be considered to be a parasite with a wide range of hosts.
对家蚕微孢子虫病病原体与当地昆虫种类之间的生物学关系进行了研究。用家蚕微孢子虫孢子悬浮液感染了7种鳞翅目昆虫（黄地老虎、烟实夜蛾、甜菜夜蛾、银纹夜蛾、菜粉蝶、小菜蛾、舞毒蛾）。结果表明，除舞毒蛾外，有6种昆虫对家蚕微孢子虫敏感。因此，家蚕微孢子虫可被认为是一种宿主范围广泛的寄生虫。
