Abstract
Development of Sericesthis iridescent virus (SIV) in larvae and prepupae of the wax moth Galleria mellonella is very sensitive to temperature. The optimum for SIV growth is 22�C in the wax moth, but it is probably slightly higher in the scarab Sericesthis pruinosa. SIV is not normally produced in wax moth prepupae at temperatures above 30�C and production of neither viral protein nor nucleic acid was detected at 35�C.
