Five diuretics were tested singly or in combination to determine their effects upon the biological activity of the gypsy moth nucleopolyhedrovirus (LdMNPV). Two of the diuretics (amiloride, furosemide) acted as enhancers, when tested singly. The following combinations were also active: acetazolamide/hydrochlorothiazide, amiloride/flufenamic acid, amiloride/furosemide, and flufenamic acid/furosemide.
