The purpose of this study was to determine the safe and effective method for preventing the occurrence of Oryctes rhinoceros Nudivirus in Allomyrina dichotoma on agricultural farms. There is a high demand for the use of A. dichotoma larvae in animal feed and as pet for educational purpose. Recently, we reported that OrNV is fatal virus diagnosed in A. dichotoma larvae in local farms in Korea. Mulberry leaves contain 1-deoxynojirimycin that represented anti-inflammatory, anti-virus, and anti-tumor effects. To prevent OrNV, we have fed the sawdust combined with 1% and 5% mulberry leaves powder to OrNV infected 2nd and 3rd stage larvae of A. dichotoma, and identified the mortality rate(%) during ten weeks. As a results, the 2nd stage larvae which were fed the sawdust combined with 5% mulberry leaves treatment recorded 60% mortality rate after ten weeks compared to the 100% mortality rate in the control. And the fatality rate of 3rd stage larvae which were fed 5% mulberry leaves treatment decreased 70% compared to the control. Therefore, application sawdust combined with mulberry leaves might be effective in the prevention and control of OrNV disease in A. dichotoma. Additionally, in the ten insect breading farms application test, OrNV virus disease have not appeared in the mulberry leaf powder treatment group.
