  • This study was carried out to acquire some basic biological informations on the granulosis virus (GV) of Pieris rapae and Pieris brassicae. Purified fractions of GV capsules in an sucrose density gradient centrifugation yielded on homogenous and sharp peak without a shoulder. Electron microscopy revealed that GV capsules were mostly ovalglove in shape. P. rapae and P. rapae GV isolated from P. rapae comprised granules($396\pm38\times238\pm25nm$ for P. rapae GV. $375\pm40\times255\pm28nm$ for P. brassicae GV) which contained single virus particle. The virus particles were 250- $275{\times}63$ -73nm for P. rapae GV and 243-250 $\times$ 63-75nm for P. brassicae GV containing a nucleocapsid 225 $\times$ 31nm for P. rapae, 225 $\times$ 29nm for P. brassicae within an envelope. The virulent difference between the two viruses was very small in their virulence for P. rapae larvae showing the $LC_{50}$( -log) with 5.5673 for P. rapae GV and 5.8104 for P. brassicae GV. Also the $LT_{50}$ of the 3rd instar P. rapae larvae against $10^{-6}$ inoculum was 8.17 days for P. rapae GV and 7.16 days for P. brassicae GV.
