Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori): It belongs to the family Bombycidae. Burning of 20-30 gm of sulphur/m3 area of rearing space is very effective to prevent growth of muscardine fungi. This disease is also known as clear head disease because of the transparent appearance of affected worms. The infective spore stage and vegetative stage. 2. (v) Rearing of disease resistant races of Bombyx, e.g., Nistari can be considered as an important preventive measure against pebrine. I am thankful to Dr. D. B. Tembhare, ex-professor and head, Department of Zoology, RTM Nagpur University, Nagpur, for the support and critical evaluation of the manuscript. Sericulture, the production of raw silk by means of raising caterpillars (larvae), particularly those of the domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori). All rearing appliances including the rearing room then should be disinfected with 4-5% formalin solution or by spreading bleaching powder. Hence, the susceptibility of three eco-races of tasar silkworm viz. Such leaves when taken by other larvae, they get infected. (iii) Coloured patches may appear around spiracles or at leg bases, (vi) Early infected larvae do not spin, but late infected instars may spin flimsy cocoon within which the pupae die, and. Central Tasar Research & Training Institute, Piska- Nagri, Ranchi, pp 29–34, Richards OW, Davies RG (1957) Imm’s general text book of entomology. The diseases having symptoms of diarrhoea and vomiting are collectively called Flacherie. Pebrine infected adult moths show black spot on abdomen, deformed antennae, unstretched, and discoloured wings. The oil content in pupae was estimated to be in the range of 18−20% (dry basis). This problem ranked second. 1. Silkworm rearings are of four types – Mulberry, Eri, Muga, and Tasar. In case of nuclear polyhedrosis, the late stage of infection shows the following sym­ptoms: (ii) Loose and shiny white skin with elevated protuberances in interseg­mental zones. Terminalia tomentosa, T. arjuna and Shorea robusta and dozens of … All of them were under the impression that frequent occurrence of diseases among the silkworm.60% of farmers faced the problem of non-availability of eggs. University Department of Zoology, Vinoba Bhave University, Hazaribag- 825301. Research Digest Lab notes: Tasar silk may be better than mulberry silk for medical applications Tasar silk is stronger, tougher and coarser and … The production of silk generally involves two processes: The silkworm caterpillar builds its cocoon by producing and surrounding itself with a long, This is a question and answer forum for students, teachers and general visitors for exchanging articles, answers and notes. Infected larvae if detected should be removed immediately from rearing tray before the formation of conidiospores on them. A lot more textured than mulberry silk, Tussar silk is used in creation of Tussar silk sarees and silk suits. Dev Biol 76:305–321, Mishra PK, Sharan SK, Kumar D (2008) Morphology of egg, larva, pupa and moth. Since the natural food of this worm is mulberry leaf it is called as mulberry silkworm.

Eco- friendly Activity Sericulture sector is a eco- friendly activity because as a perennial crop with good foliage mulberry contributes to soil conservation and provides greenery. Re­cently however cross breeds have been produced and the tasar silk worm has been domesticated. GENERAL NOTE Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 49(2), 1995, 179-181 OCCURRENCE OF A NEMATODE IN THE TROPICAL TASAR SILKWORM, ANTHERAEA MYLITTA (SATURNIIDAE) Additional key words: silk production, parasitization, India, The infestation of insects by nematode parasitoids is well documented in the literature (i) Shrinkage of body with transpa­rent appearance. Antheraea mylitta is wild and polyphagous. Share Your PDF File and Kashmir; Name the types of nitrogenous bases present in the RNA. (iv) For disinfection of rearing accessories, other agents like Benomyl. Out of the four different silk types the two i.e., mulberry and Eri are manufactured from domesticated silkworms, whereas Tasar and Munga silkworms are wild in nature, although attempts are in progress to domesticate them too. Midgut polyhedrosis, on the other hand, can be transmitted through oral route or by induction due to bad environment. TOS4. Note: It is a common fresh water arthropod found in rivers, ponds, lakes, streams, etc. The symptoms appear only in late stage and include: (ii) Translucent cephalothorax and shrinkage of body. (i) Good sanitation and healthy environment should be provided. According to the kind of causative viruses, location of the latter in host’s tis­sue and cell, polyhedrosis again are of 2 types: (1) Nuclear polyhedrosis which according to recent concept is considered as grasserie and. This is a preview of subscription content. Barsagade DD, Pankule SD, Tembhare DB (2009) Impact of Fungus on egg shell of tropical tasar silkworm. Adult moth: Pebrine infected adult moths show black spot on abdomen, deformed antennae, unstretched, and discoloured wings. Mulberry Silk Rearing 95% of the world’s silk production is mulberry. Pathogenic infection in tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury. Indian J Seric 1:16–18, Gathalkar, GB (2014) Studies on the pests and predators of tropical tasar silkworm, Gathalkar GB, Barsagade (2016) Predation biology of weaver ant, Jolly, MS (1976). Black muscardine is spread by Metarrhizium arisopliae. Eco- friendly Activity . In sericulture, silkworm can be attacked by various bacteria resulting in different diseases. The races are univoltine, bivoltine and trivoltine in nature and complete one, two and three life cycles in a year, respectively. (iv) Loss of clasping power of prolegs and. Temperature should be kept above 22°C. (iii) Adult moths showing symptoms of pebrine should not be undertaken for any sericultural processes. (iii) Larvae should be handled carefully to reduce skin wounds. Tasar silk is mainly produced in Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal & Andhra Pradesh. The rearing room and appliances should be disinfected immediately after muscardine infection before the next rearing. Since the filament of the cocoons spun by these worms is neither continuous nor uniform in thickness, the cocoons cannot be reeled and, therefore, the moths are allowed to emerge and the pierced cocoons are used for spinning to produce … (i) Rearing of larvae in hygienic conditions, and. Sources of Inspiration. Infected eggs do not show firm attachment with the egg card due to improper deposition of glue. In this disease, both larvae and pupae get infected by the bacteria Serratia marcescans and also by S. piscavotar following the primary infection with Streptococcus faecalis. pp 291-319 | (vi) Body colour turns to yellow and faeces are white in colour because of accumulated polyhedra, so the name ‘jaundice’ is given to the disease. Observations reveal the possibility of differential response by haemocytes to microbial infection in different breeds. Tasar silkworm process can offer supplementary gainful employment for tribals compare to other sericulture activities. Bavistin, Bengard, etc. leaves, was extracted with hexane. (iv) Regular disinfection of rear­ing room and appliances should be done with 2% formalin. ADVERTISEMENTS: In this article we will discuss about the Diseases of Silkworm:- 1. However, the spores of Nosema ingested then sporulate within the oocyte and pass on to the eggs. 2. (iii) Bacterial spores if detected can be destroyed by exposing to 2% formaldehyde for 3 hours or to 100°C for 5 minutes. Barsagade DD, Chamat MV, Husain IR, Meshram HM, Thakre RP (2015) Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays (EDAX) studies on the eggshell of silkworm, Dasgupta KP (1962) Observation on the behaviour of uzifly maggots. Waste from silkworm rearing can be recycled as inputs to garden. Here you can find Notes and text books for B.Sc. Tasar culture is a traditional practice of local tribes in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha since time immemorial. p. 33–50. The tasar silkworms is a wild species and hence cocoons are also collected by the tribal people from forests and silk is obtained. Above men­tioned symptoms help to detect about flacherie – infected larvae. tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta collected from various geographical forest locations in the state of Jharkhand, India, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based marker assay: random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury, is a non- mulberry silkworm used for commercial silk production in India. Sericulture sector is a eco- friendly activity because as a perennial crop with good foliage mulberry contributes to soil conservation and provides greenery. The silk worm is included in the phylum-Arthropoda, class-Insecta and order-Lepidortera. Research Digest Lab notes: Tasar silk may be better than mulberry silk for medical applications Tasar silk is stronger, tougher and coarser and unlikely to get damaged at high temperatures. (vi) The body become dull coloured to black-brown. or topical application of imanine can control NPV to some extent. © 2020 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. These larvae act as the source of secondary infection for other larvae through their faeces or dead tissues. Pebrine at any stage of silkworm life cycle can be detected by observing the above mentioned symptoms. Again, for every 100 layings, 3-4 kg of Resham Keed Ouzhad (RKO) can be spread on the worms after each moulting and 30 minutes before the larvae resume feeding. Live infected pupa if present inside the cocoon, may show black, swollen body with black spots on sides of abdomen. Full fed tasar silkworm larvae measured 107.72 ± 10.23 mm in length and 19.12 ± 0.88 mm in breadth under indoor conditions. Central Tasar Research Station, (Central Silk Board, Bombay), pp 32, Jolly MS, Chaturvedi SM, Prasad SA (1968) Survey of tasar crops in India. Again, by advanced immune enzymatic methods, presence of pebrine spores can be detected quickly. (ii) Ste­rilisation of rearing room with steam or 2% formalin or bleaching powder or Resham Keed Ouzhad (RKO) or Labex, (iii) Removal of dead or infected worms from rearing tray, (iv) Feeding the larvae with healthy leaves, and. The tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta, polyphagous sericigenous insect mostly found in the tropical areas of India.It is found in these regions as ecotypes or ecoraces. 58.3% farmers faced the problem of climatic disturbances which upset the cocoon production. The fifth instar larva spin the cocoon and pupates inside. Bacterial Diseases 3. The disease is also known as shrinking disease /clear head / faecal chain disease. From around 300 AD, the cultivation of silk reached … Bacterial Diseases 3. No notes for slide. can be used instead of routine formalin/bleaching powder. Skin wound may get infection from contaminated rearing bed. Other chemicals used as contact disinfectants for muscardine include benzoic acid, aliband, chemi-chlon, benzoalkonium chloride, mixture of ceresan and lime, etc. Observations reveal the possibility of differential response by haemocytes to microbial infection in different breeds. Alam MO, Pandey RK, Yadav GS, Sinha BRBP, Sinha SS (2000) Studies on rearing performance of wild eco-race model of tasar silkworm. (viii) The carcass turns black and emits foul smell (Fig. ADVERTISEMENTS: Causative organisms: Pebrine is caused by the […] However, these infected eggs hatch in very low percentage and the hatched out larvae usually die before reaching 3rd instar. Females usually lay eggs in irregular, loose heaps. Hatching percentage was 67.44 ± 5.97%. Thus, they serve as source of tertiary infection to other 5th instar larvae which may spin and may even live up to the adult stage. Xanthopimpla pedator (F., 1775) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) is a pupal endoparasitoid of Antheraea mylitta (Drury, 1773) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae).Antheraeamylitta produces a unique quality of wild silk, popularly known as “Kosa” or “Tasar” silk (Jolly et al. The most virulent protozoan disease of silkworm is Pebrine, so named as the infected worms show some pepper-like black spots. These larvae, if spin, form weak cocoons and exhibit pebrine symptoms and may die during or after spinning. First predation record of. (v) Infected larvae usually do not moult. The cocoon of A. mylitta is tough, made up from single silk thread measuring about 1000 m. The cocoon has a large peduncle, which terminates in a ring which fits into the branch of host plant. Tasar culture is the mainstay for many a tribal community in India. (vi) Death. 3.8). Primary infected larvae usually die before exhibiting any typical symptoms. In sericulture, the silkworm rearing process begins with the laying of eggs by the female silk moth. Tasar silkworm process can offer supplementary gainful employment for tribals compare to other sericulture activities. Then the bacteria become able to invade the haemocoel and spread the infection in whole body of larvae. The first crop, usually called the seed crop is raised during May to July, whereas the commercial crop is raised during October-November. White muscardine is caused by Beauveria bas- siana where the conidia are spherical/oval and spores are like white powdery specks. Larvae when take contaminated leaves can get infection directly. It is the caterpillar of a moth whose cocoon is used to make silk. Yellow muscardine fungi affect the gut of larvae, while red muscardine fungi attack the body wall. Ambica publisher, Bombay, p 252, Jolly MS, Sen SK, Sonwalkar TN, Prasad GK (1979) Non mulberry silk. For this purpose, anhydrated lime can be kept in the corner of rearing room. Besides, microscopic observation of homogenate / fluid from dead tissues, faecal pellets can indicate the presence of infective spores of Nosema. Culture of silk worms or sericulture . tasar silkworm. Scales fall off easily from the body of pebrine infected moths. The fungal spores upon falling on the body surface of silkworm germinate and gradually penetrate the cuticle by mechanical and enzymatic forces. Antheraea mylitta is wild and polyphagous. In case of white, green and black muscardines, the pathogenic fungi reach the haemocoel where they spread their hyphae. The complex of diseases caused by viruses showing jaundice-like symptoms are collectively referred to as grasserie or polyhedrosis. To date, no molecular marker associated with cocoon and shell weights has been identified in this species. After death the body becomes black in colour, internal organs become liquid and emit foul odour. 3.37b). These eggs are pale yellow in colour and may fail to hatch. Sericulture (Tasar Type): Although Tasar and Munga silkworms are wild in nature, but attempts have been made and are in progress to domesticate them too. (i) Sluggish movement showing “unequals” in rearing bed. 37.59.215.78. Again, symptoms of flacherie may not be same in all types of flacherie. Besides bacteria, Infectious Flacherie Virus (IFV), an RNA virus can also cause flacherie in the host silkworm where it forms irregular inclusions mostly in the midgut goblet cells. Scales fall off easily from the body of pebrine infected moths. Cultivation of Food-plants: In India, tasar silk is mainly produced in the states of Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Orissa, besides Maharashtra, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. (i) In grainages only disease- free layings (DFLs) will be allowed for rearing. Both these moths belong to the family Saturnidae are large-sized and their caterpillars are also considerably monstrous, stout and about 10.00 cm long. Note: The equipment requirement may vary according to the scale of rearing. c. Eri or Arundi silkworm (Attacus ricini) - feeds on castor - Eri silk d Munga silkworm (Antherea assama) feeds on oak and other forest trees - Munga silk Thiopalia religiosa feeds on machilus & fucus species - Devmuga silk. and tapioca (Manihot utilizsima Phol.) These are Attacus receni, B, the Eri silkworm moth and Antherea paphia, B, the tassar silkworm moth. Tussar Silk , also often referred to as ‘Wild Silk, Tassar Silk, or Tusar Silk is an exquisite thread obtained from a wide winged moth that is yellowish-brown in colour. Contaminated leaves with formalin, exposure to camphor during rearing and blocking of spiracles by dust, Uzi fly, etc. production of raw silk from tasar silkworms was 43 tons in FY1994, the second largest in India8. For preparing disinfected rearing beds, 0.4% formalinised husk can be used for the beds of I and II instars; 0.5% for II and III instars, 0.6% for IV and 0.8% for V instar.

Any kind of dampness in and around rearing place is to be avoided. Silkworm belong to the order Lepidoptera.They belong to family of Bombycidae and Saturniidae.Under Bomycidae, we have Bombyx Mori or commonly known as Mulberry Silkworm.Under Saturniidae family the eri silk worm is called Philosamia Ricine, Muga is called Anthrerea Assamensis and Tasar … Sericulture 1. Sericulture Submitted by- Nisha Arya MSc 4th Semster Kumaun University 2. Tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury, is a non- mulberry silkworm used for commercial silk production in India. Fungal Diseases. Infected larvae also pass soft faeces and often die after spinning without pupating. Indian Silk:19–23, Singh RN, Thangavelu K (1991) Parasites and predators of tasar silkworm –. The moth is quite robust and creamy-white in colour. may induce the disease. This moth is belived to belong to China origi­nally. Associate Publishing Company, New Delhi, Suryanarayana, N., Shova Beck. The inclusions of PIB are synthesised by the silkworm (host) machinery, independent of viral components and so, may or may not contain viral particles. (vii) The larvae show signs of pain, convulsions and die. Following secondary infections by bacteria the larvae show: (ii) vomiting of an alkaline, clear fluid, and. Originally the Tasar silk worm was not cultivated. High temperature, humidity, etc. Litter from the infected bed should be removed immediately after detection of infection and be dumped in deep pits and burnt. (eds) Tasar culture – Principles and practices volume – 1 tasar silkworm host plants – production, protection and improvement, Central Tasar Research & Training Institute, Piska- Nagri, Ranchi. Silkworm Rearing. Shivakumar G, Shamitha G (2013) Studies on larval mortality: diseases, pest and predator menace in outdoor and indoor reared tasar silkworm, Singh KC (1991) Controlling the insect enemies of oak tasar silkworms. (ii) Diseased larvae if detected in rearing tray/bed should immediately be removed and burnt. The growing hyphae then draw nourishment from host’s tissue and ultimately kill them. It is actually one of a number of tasar silkworms, species that produce Tussar silk, a kind of wild silk that is made from the products of saturniid silkworms instead of the domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori). I am also thankful to Rajiv Gandhi Science and Technology Commission, Government of Maharashtra, Mumbai, for their financial support and Directorate of Sericulture, Government of Maharashtra, and Regional Tasar Research Station, Bhandara, India, for their field support. (vii) Dead larvae may be covered with coloured spores of causative fungi or may be mummified into chalky white structure (Fig. These moths feed on leaves of oak, are found in abundance in sub-Himalayan belt. Thanks are also due to Dr. M. P. Singh, former Vice Chancellor of Vinoba Bhave University, Hazaribag, for support and encouragements. China is the major producer of this tasars but in India it is available in Manipur, Assam, Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir. (iv) Opaque midgut due to accumulation of polyhedra in cytoplasm, (v) White, loose faeces due to accumula­tion of polyhedra, and. Success has been achieved in this regard to some extent. In: Vijaya Prakash NB et al (eds) Tasar culture – principles and practices volume −2. Mulberry silkworm - Bombyx mori : This is a completely domesticated insect. (v) Oral administration of nalidixic acid, P-aminobutyric acid etc. The following are some of the varieties of silk. Free aeration by keeping windows and doors open or by using fan for continuous flow of air should be maintained. Mulberry silkworm rearing, being completely domesticated, demands specified environmental conditions like optimum temperature (24-28oC) and relative humidity (70-85%).

(ii) Oral route or intake of contaminated food can also transmit the infection. Tasar food plants and their morphoanatomical features. Eco- friendly Activity Sericulture sector is a eco- friendly activity because as a perennial crop with good foliage mulberry contributes to soil conservation and provides greenery. As the silkworm prepares to pupate, it spins a protective cocoon. The tasar silkworms is a wild species and hence cocoons are also collected by the tribal people from forests and silk is obtained. environmental conditions for silkworm rearing, leaf harvest, transportation and preservation, leaf quality and quantity, late age rearing, mechanization in silkworm rearing Unit IV: Non- mulberry silkworm rearing (10) Tasar Silkworm Rearing, Oak Tasar Silkworm Rearing, Eri Silkworm Rearing, Muga Silkworm Rearing To date, no molecular marker associated with cocoon and shell weights has been identified in this species. Insects principally belong to two families, viz., Saturnidae and Bombycidae, which spins silk fibre. However, oral transmission through ingestion of contaminated leaves and transmission through spiracles are also noticed. Eri silk is a staple fiber, unlike other silks, which are continuous filament.The texture of the fabric is coarse, fine, and dense. 2. This website includes study notes, research papers, essays, articles and other allied information submitted by visitors like YOU. Typically, 300-500 eggs are obtained from one female silk moth. Labex, a mixture of lime and bleaching powder has anti-muscardine and grasserie effects and can improve larval growth and commercial characters as well. The fungi then take saprophytic nutrition from the dead larvae tissue and grow mycelia as white flakes over the dead tissue. Before publishing your Notes on this site, please read the following pages: 1. Pebrine is caused by the protozoan Nosema bombycis that has several strains of which most virulents are NIK-2r. (i) Rearing environment should be hygienic with proper ventilation. This toxin, if taken by the larvae orally causes two types of responses: In type I response, the larvae of B. mori stop feeding, haemo­lymph becomes alkaline and paralysis occurs within 60-80 minutes of intake. « hide 10 20 30 40 50 mafknivvls aciilgaalp vdkqpvmkeq psevlfkegk paiiecfteg 60 70 80 90 100 keegnkyfwq kdgksfdlqq nhatmrkdeg slvflnpqas degqyqcfae 110 120 130 140 150 tpagvassrv isfrktylia gpvkshdktp vegkpfqldc vvpnaypkpe 160 170 180 190 200 iywkkrlsga dptadstsfn rritagpdgn lyfetvtkdd vsdihiyvcv 210 220 230 240 250 aknaavndev plveyiikgv tkdtsgynge lvpqylskdm makagdttmi 260 270 … Due to bacterial growth and consequent accumulation of lactate, acetate, etc. Bombyx mori, the domestic silk moth, is an insect from the moth family Bombycidae.It is the closest relative of Bombyx mandarina, the wild silk moth.The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of a silk moth. 2. The neutral lipid of desilked eri silkworm pupae (Samia cynthia ricini) grown on two different host plants, castor (Ricinus communis Linn.) Indian J Seric 7(1):56–57, Jolly MS, Sen SK, Ahsan MM (1974) Tasar culture. 3.39). It is less lustrous than mulberry silk, but has its own feel and appeal. Morphology and histology of Lyonet’s gland of the tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta. Bacillus thuringiensis, bacteria widely used as a bioinsecticide, release some endotoxin thuricide, that remains stored in a parasporal crystalline structure during the time of sporulation of the bacteria. Antheraea mylitta is a species of moth in the family Saturniidae known commonly as the tasar silkworm and vanya silkworm. About the size and color of a cotton ball, the cocoon is constructed from one continuous strand of silk, perhaps 1.5 km long (nearly a mile).
