Comparative analysis of the complete genome sequences of 13 baculoviruses revealed a
core set of 30 genes, 20 of which have known functions. Phylogenetic analyses of these 30 …

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 …

In this review background information on the baculovirus-insect cell expression system and
its applications for producing protein subunits and virus-like particles for vaccine and other …

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 …

The nucleotide sequence of the DNA genome of Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) was
determined and analysed. The genome is composed of 123500 bp and has a G+ C content …

The occlusion derived form of baculovirus is specially adapted for primary infection of the
host midgut epithelium. As such, the virion must contain the proteins essential for host range …

The nucleotide sequence of the Helicoverpa armigera single-nucleocapsid
nucleopolyhedrovirus (HaSNPV) DNA genome was determined and analysed. The circular …

Entry of the budded virus form of baculoviruses into insect and mammalian cells is generally
thought to occur through a low-pH-dependent endocytosis pathway, possibly through …
