The disease commonly associated with sericulture is "silkworm disease," primarily caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. One of the most notable diseases affecting silkworms is "Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus" (BmNPV), which can lead to significant mortality in silkworm populations. Other diseases include bacterial infections, such as those caused by Bacillus thuringiensis, and fungal infections like Beauveria bassiana. Effective disease management is crucial for maintaining healthy silkworm stocks and ensuring successful silk production.
