Fecal Transmission of Spodoptera frugiperda Multiple Nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV; Baculoviridae) [PDF]

Viruses
The production of viable nucleopolyhedrovirus in the feces of infected lepidopteran larvae represents a poorly understood route for virus transmission prior to host death.

Protein-Gene Orthology in Baculoviridae: An Exhaustive Analysis to Redefine the Ancestrally Common Coding Sequences [PDF]

Viruses, 2023
Baculoviruses are entomopathogens that carry large, double-stranded circular DNA genomes and infect insect larvae of Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera, with applications in the biological control of agricultural pests, in the production of recombinant

A qPCR Assay for the Quantification of Selected Genotypic Variants of Spodoptera frugiperda Multiple Nucleopolyhedrovirus (Baculoviridae) [PDF]

Viruses
Alphabaculoviruses are lethal dsDNA viruses of Lepidoptera that have high genetic diversity and are transmitted in aggregates within proteinaceous occlusion bodies. This mode of transmission has implications for their efficacy as biological insecticides.

Beyond the Mortality Effect: Spodoptera frugiperda Multiple Nucleopolyhedrovirus Promotes Changes in Feeding and Inhibits Larval Growth and Weight Gain in Fall Armyworm [PDF]

Microorganisms
Infection by Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV) profoundly alters the physiology of S. frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), promoting molecular responses that activate genes related to cellular defense.

Fecal Transmission of Nucleopolyhedroviruses: A Neglected Route to Disease? [PDF]

Insects
Nucleopolyhedroviruses of lepidopteran larvae (Alphabaculovirus, Baculoviridae) form the basis for effective and highly selective biological insecticides for the control of caterpillar pests of greenhouse and field crops and forests.

Diets for in vivo inoculation of Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV) (Lefavirales: Baculoviridae)

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences
The Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV) has been studied and applied in controlling the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda. This pest serves as the primary host for in vivo replication of this biological control agent.

Baculovirus Display of Peptides and Proteins for Medical Applications

Viruses, 2023
Baculoviridae is a large family of arthropod-infective viruses. Recombinant baculoviruses have many applications, the best known is as a system for large scale protein production in combination with insect cell cultures.

Atomic structure of a nudivirus occlusion body protein determined from a 70-year-old crystal sample

Nature Communications, 2023
Infectious protein crystals are an essential part of the viral lifecycle for double-stranded DNA Baculoviridae and double-stranded RNA cypoviruses. These viral protein crystals, termed occlusion bodies or polyhedra, are dense protein assemblies that form
