Spodoptera litura larvae are attracted by HvAV-3 h-infected S. litura larvae-damaged pepper leaves.

HvAV-3 h-infected S. litura can alter the release of HIPVs in pepper plants and thus become more attractive to S. litura larvae. We speculate that this may be due to alterations in the concentration of some compounds (such as geranylacetone and prohydrojasmon) affecting the behavior of S. litura larvae.
