Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was isolated from adult lesser mealworms, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer), up to 14 d after exposure, but isolation of the virus was erratic over this period of time. The virus was undetected after 24 h in beetle larvae. Virus was isolated from the adult beetle's mouth parts, foregut, midgut, hindgut, and blood 24 h after they fed on feed inoculated with IBDV. Ten days after exposure, virus was isolated from the foregut but not the blood, mouth parts, or remaining digestive tract of the adult beetles. The adult lesser mealworm is capable of serving as a reservoir for IBDV, rather than a fomite, between broiler growouts.
传染性法氏囊病病毒（IBDV）从成年小粉虫（Alphitobius diaperinus，Panzer）中分离得到，暴露后长达14天仍可分离到，但在此期间病毒的分离情况不稳定。在甲虫幼虫中，24小时后未检测到该病毒。成年甲虫取食接种IBDV的饲料24小时后，从其口器、前肠、中肠、后肠和血液中分离到病毒。暴露十天后，从成年甲虫的前肠而非血液、口器或其余消化道中分离到病毒。成年小粉虫在肉鸡生长阶段之间能够作为IBDV的储存宿主，而非污染物。
