“…The non-occluded Baculovirus of Oryctes rhinoceros, the palm rhinoceros beetle, has been safety tested in France with apparently no effect in various mammalian and fish cell cultures, or in mice when body organs were examined up to 60 days after inoculation (FAO, 1978). Some tests with this virus have also been done in the pig using repeated oral application and repeated intraperitoneal injection (Gourreau, Kaiser, Lahellec, Chevrier & Monsarrat, 1979). No convincing effect was demonstrated apart from more frequently observed liver lesions which were more severe than in control animals.…”
