The aim of this study was to evaluate the fungus and bacterial contamination in the silkworm incubatory before and after cleaning and disinfection procedures. Samples from the air and the surface of the floor, walls, mulberry leaves, silkworms, and leaf-trimming machine were collected. The methodology used was the sedimentation plate technique and surface contact with specific culture media such as Nutrient's agar, McConkey's agar and Sabouraud dextrose agar for growth, respectively, of bacteria, enterobacteria and fungi. The results showed that at the end of the two first instars, the fungus and bacterium index on the surface of the floor, the silkworm caterpillar and mulberry leaves had increased. The cleaning and disinfection reduced the level of contamination by microorganisms in the environment from very bad to excellent. The mulberry leaves represented a strong infection potential for the silkworm caterpillar. The counting of bacteria and fungus colonies was a very simple way of monitoring and detecting the incubatory sanitary problems.
