Analysis of Silver Nanoparticles for the Treatment and Prevention of Nucleopolyhedrovirus Affecting Bombyx mori
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) causes major economic losses in sericulture. A number of agents have been employed to treat viral diseases. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have wide applications in biomedical fields due to their unique properties. The anti-BmNPV effect of AgNPs has been evalua...

description | Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) causes major economic losses in sericulture. A number of agents have been employed to treat viral diseases. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have wide applications in biomedical fields due to their unique properties. The anti-BmNPV effect of AgNPs has been evaluated, however, there are insufficient studies concerning its toxicity to other organisms and the environment. We chemically synthesized biocompatible BSA-AgNPs with a diameter range of 2–4 nm and characterized their physical properties. The toxicity of AgNPs towards cells and larvae with different concentrations was examined; the results indicated a biofriendly effect on cells and larvae within specific concentration ranges. The SEM observation of the surface of BmNPV after treatment with AgNPs suggested that AgNPs could destroy the polyhedral structure, and the same result was obtained by Coomassie blue staining. Further assays confirmed the weakened virulence of AgNPs-treated BmNPV toward cells and larvae. AgNPs also could effectively inhibit the replication of BmNPV in infected cells and larvae. In summary, our research provides valuable data for the further development of AgNPs as an antiviral drug for sericulture. |
