[ Method] The last instar larvae of Galleria mellonella and Tenebrio molitor were used as insect hosts. The infectivity of nematode was determined, and its heat tolerance ability was measured by using water bath method. [Result] The infectivity of the nematodes was lower at the dosages of 10, 20 and 40 IJs/larva, but higher at the dosages of 80,160, 32.0 and 640 IJs/larva. The corrected mortality （CM） of G. mellonella at 96 h and T. molitor at 120 h were both above 90%. The nematode infectivity was highest at the dosage of 80 IJs/larva when the hosts＇ CM reached 100% after 120 h. About 25% nematode individuals could survive in 36℃ water bath for 2 d in the densities of 1 000 -5 000 IJ/ml, after 6 d, there were still 3% -9% individuals survived, until 9 d the nematodes died totally. A hundred percent of the nematode individuals died in 38℃ and 40 ~C water bath after 6 h and 2 h, respectively. [Conclusion] Rhabditis （ O. ） sp. has a higher potential to cause the host mortality and represents heat tolerance up to 36℃.展开更多

They have a distinct karyotype, membrane lipid composition, morphology and growth kinetics from the parental cell lines. In this paper, we report the development of ht cell lines from other insect species and examination of their growth characteristics and virus susceptibility. Adaptation of cell lines sf-9, BTI-TN-5B1-4 (High5) and BTI-TN-MG1 (MG1) to 33℃ and 35℃ was carried out by shifting the culture temperature between 28℃ and higher temperatures by a gradual stepwise increase in temperature. The process of adaption to a higher culture temperature was accomplished over a period of 2 months. The cell lines with the temperature adaption were designated as sf9-ht33, sf9-ht35, High5-ht33, High5-ht35, MG1-ht33, MG1-ht35. These cell lines have been subcultured over 70 passages. Adaption to high temperatures was confirmed by a constant population doubling time with individual cell lines. The population doubling time of heat adapted cell lines were 1-4 h less than these of parental cell lines. Cell shapes did not show obvious change, however, the cell size of sf9-ht cells was enlarged and those of High5 and MG1 ht cells were reduced after heat adaption. When the cell lines were infected with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) at 28℃, 33℃, 35℃ and 37℃, production of budded virus and occlusion bodies in each cell line was optimum at its own adapted temperature.展开更多
