The noctuid moths Spodoptera exigua, S. littoralis and S. frugiperda are three important insect pest species and the natural hosts of three distinct nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs), of which several strains have been isolated world-wide. A variant of S. exigua NPV from Almería, Spain (Se-SP2A), a variant of the S. littoralis NPV from Morocco (SI-M2) and a variant of the S. frugiperda NPV from California, USA (Sf-2), were analysed with restriction endonucleases and biologically compared in terms of host range, infectivity (median lethal concentration, LC[SUB50]) and virulence (median survival time, ST[SUB50]) for each of the three host species. Each virus was most effective against its homologous host when both LC[SUB50] and ST[SUB50] were taken into account, but one the S. littoralis variants, SI-M2, showed the highest overall activity against all three species. The influence of the optical brightener Tinopal LPW on the activity of SI-M2 against all three Spodoptera spp. was assayed. The LC[SUB50] of SI-M2 was reduced in all cases in the presence of Tinopal LPW; quite significantly in S. littoralis and S. frugiperda (8.7- and 7.2-fold, respectively) and only slightly (1.5-fold) in S. exigua. No significant differences in the ST[SUB50] were detected when Tinopal LPW was added to the virus suspension. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
