Summary:A nucleopolyhedrosis of Rachiplusia ou (Guenée), one of a complex of looper species infesting commercially grown mint is described. Infection of the virus ( Borrelinavirus) is characteristically similar to those of other nucleopolyhedroses in lepidopterous hosts. Quantitative results indicated that the virus has low virulence when compared to that infecting Trichoplusia ni (Hübner); alternatively, the disease of R. ou may be a result of cross transmission of the nucleopolyhedrosis virus of T. ni to a secondary host. The estimated LT 50 was between 5 and 6 days for the highest dose of 1.4 × 10 8 polyhedra/larva.
