- Abstract
The concept behind the use of biological control agents against termites was based on the assumption that epizootic events can occur naturally in a termite colony. However, no reports ever mentioned the occurrence of epizootic in natural field conditions in any termite species. We here describe what could be the first report of a viral epizootic in a field colony of Neotermes jouteli.
