Effects of Larval Density on <i>Plutella xylostella</i> Resistance to Granulosis Virus

It has been reported that some phase-polyphenic insects from high-density conditions are more resistant to pathogens than those from low-density conditions. This phenomenon is termed “density-dependent prophylaxis” (DDP). However, whether non phase-polyphenic insects exhibit DDP has rarely been eluc...
