Abstract:16Many parasites manipulate host behaviour to enhance their transmission. Baculovirus induces 17 enhanced locomotory activity (ELA) combined with subsequent climbing behaviour in lepidopteran 18 larvae, which facilitates viral dispersal. Previously, larval locomotion during ELA was summarized 19 as the distance travelled for a few minutes at several time points. However, as ELA continues for 20 several hours, these methods are unlikely to evaluate larval locomotion precisely during ELA. We 21 developed a novel… Show more
