Discussion

Biological assay demonstrates the effectiveness of chitosan against bacterial infections in silkworms, highlighting improved grainage parameters.

Chitosan treatment significantly improved moth emergence rates in infected silkworms, achieving 82.0%.
Uninfected controls had a 95.9% emergence rate, indicating healthy baseline parameters.
Chitosan at 5000 ppm demonstrated superior results in reducing deformities and increasing fecundity up to 582 eggs.
Ampicillin also improved outcomes significantly, showing a 85.1% emergence rate at 6 hours post-inoculation.

Naik et al. (2025) studied this question.
