Abstract
⺠Benzylideneacetone (BZA) inhibits phospholipase A2 to suppress biosynthesis of eicosanoids that mediate the immune response in insects. ⺠In response to AcMNPV, the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, developed red spots on the midgut epithelium. ⺠Viral infection was suppressed as the red spots on the epithelium developed. ⺠BZA inhibited the formation of the midgut red spots in a dose-dependent manner. ⺠BZA treatment resulted in significant enhancement of AcMNPV occlusion body pathogenicity to P. xylostella.
