Nosema bombycis is a microsporidium that kills 100% silkworms hatched from infected eggs. Nosema bombycis is a microsporidium that can be carried over from worms to moths then eggs and worms again. This microsporidium comes from the food that silkworms eat. If silkworms get this microsporidium in their larva stage, there are no visible symptoms. However, mother moths will pass the microsporidium onto the eggs, and 100% of worms hatching from the infected eggs will die in their larva stage. Therefore, it is extremely important to rule out all eggs from infected moths by checking the moth’s body fluid under a microscope.
