Abstract: In this paper, the mathematical model describing the relationship of mean lethal rate V(T) of nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) to its host larvae and temperature (T) is drawnas follows: V(T)=ρ(25℃)T/T25exp △HA/R (1/T25-1/T] / 1+exp[△HH/R (1+T1/2H-1/T)] of which, T25 and R are 298.15°K and 8.314J·K-1·mol-1; respectively, and P(25℃),△HA, △HH and T1/2H are unknown parameters.The model can well fit to describe therelationship of mean lethal rate of NPV from tea geometrid Ectropis obliqua hypulina to its host larvae infected with the virus at the beginning of each instar and temperature.Itis also fit to simulate the relationship between V(T) and T of Heliothis zea NPV, Calleria mellonella NPV and Anticarsia gemmatalis NPV to their host larvae, respectively.
