Results suggested likely latency in vertical transmission of sublethal viral infection. It was demonstrated that high temperature acted as a stressor of latent virus harbored by S. litura larvae, and mortality rates varied depending on insect generation.}, pages = {19--24}, title = {High Temperature as a Stressor of Spodoptera litura Latent Virus}, volume = {30}, year = {2009} }
