Abstract

The present study deals with the determination of different disease and preventive measures of mulberry silkworm, (Bombyx mori). Epizootiology, development of immunodiagnostic kit, fluorescent antibody technique and use of ideal disinfectant, chemotherapy and thermo-therapy techniques and management strategies have been addressed for identification, destruction, prevention and control of disease causing micro-organisms. Three years survey was conducted on the incidence of silkworm diseases namely, Grasserie, Flacherie, Muscardine and pebrine, the data revealed that grasserie and flacherie incidence were maximum in summer season and minimum in winter season whereas muscardine was observed high in winter.
