  1. For each L. dispar population, different letters designate statistically significant differences among LD50 values of the isolates. ND (not determined): less than 15% of larvae died at all doses of LdMNPV-KG, NA (not available): not tested. Slopes and goodness of fit test are presented in Table S1.
