Baculoviruses are insect-specific DNA viruses that have been exploited as bioinsecticides
for the control of agricultural and forest pests around the world. Mixed infections with two …

Simple Summary The fall armyworm is a notorious lepidopteran pest that consumes many
economically important crops. Its recent invasion into China threatens crops in over 19 …

ODV-E66 is a major envelope proteins of baculovirus occlusion derived virus (ODV) with
chondroitinase activity. Here, we studied the roles of ODV-E66 during Helicoverpa armigera …

Baculoviruses, such as AcMNPV, have evolved to initiate infection in the insect midgut and
then spread the infection to other tissues throughout the insect. This led to the evolution of …

BACKGROUND Baculoviruses provide long‐lasting control of crop pests and are harmless
to humans and non‐target animals, making them attractive bioinsecticides. Autographa …

The fall armyworm, known as Spodoptera frugiperda, is a notorious invasive pest wreaking
havoc on agricultural crops globally. In the course of this study, a novel variant of the S. litura …

The Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) was originally described in the
early 1970s (1) and research on its genetics began later in that decade. This was stimulated …

Mitochondria play an essential role in intracellular energy metabolism. This study described
the involvement of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) GP37 (BmGP37) in host …

The median lethal dose (LD 50) is commonly used to indicate acute toxicity of an insecticide
to an insect species. Approximate confidence intervals for LD 50s are often calculated using …

Infectious baculoviruses can be generated from the transfection of naked viral DNA into
susceptible insect cells indicating that the transcription of early genes required for initiating …
