Nosema spores cause very lethal disease ?Pebrine? to sericulture industry. Sometimes it destroys the growth and development of sericulture, especially in seed and cocoon production sectors. Although the bleaching powder is effective to efficiently act on Nosema spores, but the mechanism was not understood well. Therefore, the present study has been carried out to investigate the mechanism of Calcium Hypochlorite on Nosema spores. Interestingly, higher level of membrane damage, protein and carbohydrate leakages were observed in Nosema spores treated with bleaching powder solution. The inactivation of spores was additionally verified by using mortality test (double color fluorescence stain and scanning electron microscope). In addition, the protein and membrane of spores was disrupted, which resulted in the annihilation of the structure of the spores. Present findings provide new insights into the mechanism of bleaching powder solution on Nosema spores.
