Baculovirus infected grubs maintained almost identical levels of total sugars as the healthy grubs at different stages of analysis. Total protein level was higher in the healthy grubs when compared to that in diseased ones, but reverse trend was observed in protease activity and amino acid levels. The dl4 post-infection was the critical phase at which drastic variations of the macromolecules occurred in the haemolymph.enArticle
