Enhancins are metalloproteinases that facilitate baculovirus infection in the insect midgut. They are more prevalent in granuloviruses (GVs), constituting up to 5% of the proteins of viral occlusion bodies (OBs).

Determinant Factors in the Production of a Co-Occluded Binary Mixture of Helicoverpa armigera Alphabaculovirus (HearNPV) Genotypes with Desirable Insecticidal Characteristics. [PDF]
A co-occluded binary mixture of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus genotypes HearSP1B and HearLB6 at a 1:1 ratio (HearSP1B+HearLB6) was selected for the development of a virus-based biological insecticide, which requires an efficient large-scale ...

Genomics of alphabaculovirus isolates infecting Mamestra species from North America and Eurasia
Whole genome sequencing and multiplex PCR analysis were used to characterize previously isolated baculovirus isolates from Mamestra populations in Eurasia. Although these viruses have been previously described as Mamestra brassicae nucleopolyhedrovirus (MbNPV/MabrNPV), we demonstrate here that these isolates represent strains of the baculovirus species

A Novel Approach to Mine for Genetic Markers via Comparing Class Frequency Distributions of Maximal Repeats Extracted from Tagged Whole Genomic Sequences [PDF]
The cost to extract one new biomarker within genomic sequences is very huge. This chapter adopts a scalable approach, developed previously and based on MapReduce programming model, to extract maximal repeats from a huge amount of tagged whole genomic ...
