Previous studies report that the pathogenicity of nucleopolyhedrovirus occlusion bodies
(OBs) is reduced if OBs are collected from living infected insects compared to virus-killed …

Baculoviruses were isolated from three major lepidopteran pests, Helicoverpa armigera,
Spodoptera litura and Amsacta albistriga in the semi-arid tropics during natural epizootic …

The paper deals with optimal management of agricultural pest population under integrated
control arising out of viral infection and spraying of pesticide. The costs of the control …

Lepidopteran insect pest species cause heavy damage to the crop yield annually around the
globe. Baculoviruses, the nucleopolyhedroviruses and the granuloviruses, act as natural …

Outbreaks of Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hübner, 1818)(Lepidoptera: Erebidae), a major pest of
soybean, can be controlled below economic thresholds with methods that do not involve the …

The inefficient production of nucleopolyhedrovirus occlusion bodies (OBs) can limit the
commercialization of virus-based insecticides. The production of OBs in SfMNPV-infected …

Mass production of baculoviruses by in vivo methods is influenced by several factors like
larval age at virus treatment, virus concentration and the incubation temperature. The larval …

Integrated pest management (IPM) approaches to tackle pests are varied and many. The
pest suppression methods as a package keep changing over time. Several books in …
