Science Plans Disease Epidemic Among Insects By DELOS SMITH United Preu Science Editor NEW YORK (UP) Science may move faster toward acquiring the ability to set off devastating; dis ease epidemics among insects, now that a technique has been de vised for getting insect viruses through the , mouths . of insect larvae. Unless you've looked at Insect larvae through a high-power mi croscope vou have no idea how very small their mouths can be. The larva of the larch bud moth, which was the "guinea pig" for this new triumph In technology, is less than a third of an Inch from stein to stern. Tne diameter of the critter's mouth Is aoout one thousandth of that. Nevertheless it is now pos sible to get a needle into it and inject viruses directly. The tri umph belongs to Maru E. Mar tignoni, a Swiss, who is spreading his happy skill among scientists everywhere. He took an ordinary glass hypo dermic Injection needle of the smallest size, softened it in the llame of a bunsen burner, drew it out until it was thin or thinner than a hair. He broke off a usable length, smoothed the new end on fire, being careful not to block its now very tiny channel. This "stump" he attached with sealing wax to a micro-injector which he made fast to a stand so that the "stump" projected in to the "field" of the microscope Then he ' put a larch bud moth larva to sleep wilb a whiff of ether and . shoved it Into the "field." .... Now, under high-power magnill cation, its body parts were plain to see. With fine forceps, he picked it up just behind the head capsule, and lifted It ud to the needle's point with its mouth dore most. A little pressure, and the mouth dropped open. In went the needle and through It went viruses. V.artignonl - pointed out, in a technical publication of the Amer ican Association fur the Advance ment of Science, that heretolore scientists have been-injecting vi ruses into insects by puncturing their bodies with needles. Either lhat, or they have been starving insects and then letting them drink liquid containing viruses. But those ways aren't exact enough. In nature, Insects acquire their sickening and killing viruses through their mouths. Starving insects "introduces an unnatural lacior of unknown value into the experiment." Wha science needs to know is bow much of what virus kills which insects. Martignoni , was en gaged in the tedious research of linding out how much of a virus lhat specializes on the larch bud moth will kill all moths in their larval stage every time. The next step will be to find out how to get the viruses into most If not all larvae as they develop. Science has had some notable success-; in controlling larger pestilential animals such as the rabbit, hordes of Australia by in fecting them with viruses which kill them but do not kill other animals. There are some dangers in the method. But it has been said that Insect viruses are, po tentially, the perfect insecticides. As an example, it Is believed that an insect virus wmch might sicken and kill the highly destructive Japanese beetle could be harm less to the very useful honey bee. But there's much to be learned about viruses.- LAW ADOPTED VIENNA, Austria ifl Parlia ment Wednesday adopted con stitutional law, pledging the Aus trian Federal Republic to remain forever a neutral state.
