History

Which consequence results from sericulture Bombyx mori infected by pébrine?

A)Increased silk thread tensile strength
B)Increased cocoon filament production rate
C)Decreased silk production thread length
D)Improved fiber uniform light diffusion properties

💡 Explanation

Decreased silk production happens because pébrine disease weakens the silkworms via microbial infection inhibiting metamorphosis initiation; therefore, silkworms will fail to spin sufficient cocoon silk, rather than producing silk with greater strength or improved light diffusion.
