Baculoviruses are large DNA viruses of insects that are highly pathogenic in many hosts. In
the infection cycle, baculoviruses produce two types of virions. These virion phenotypes are …

Biological control of agricultural pests has gained importance in recent years due to
increased pressure to reduce the use of agrochemicals and their residues in the …

Publisher Summary Baculoviruses play an important ecological role regulating the size of
insect populations. For many years, baculoviruses have been applied as targeted biocontrol …

Baculoviruses are important insect pathogens that have been developed as protein
expression vectors in insect cells and as transduction vectors for mammalian cells. They …

Baculovirus genomes are covalently closed circles of double stranded-DNA varying in size
between 80 and 180 kilobase-pair. The genomes of more than fourty-one baculoviruses …

Baculoviruses pesticides are ideal tools in integrated pest management programs as they
are usually highly specific to their host insects; thus, they do not affect other arthropods …

Post-translational modification by the conjugation of small ubiquitin-like modifiers is an
essential mechanism to affect protein function. Currently, only a limited number of substrates …

Baculoviruses produce two progeny phenotypes during their replication cycles. The
occlusion-derived virus (ODV) is responsible for initiating primary infection in the larval …

Baculovirus occlusion-derived virus (ODV) initiates infection of lepidopteran larval hosts by
binding to the midgut epithelia, which is mediated by per os infectivity factors (PIFs) …

The Baculoviridae is a large group of insect viruses containing circular double‐stranded
DNA genomes of 80 to 180 kbp. In this study, genome sequences from 57 baculoviruses …
