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

Conserved molecular systems of the Baculoviridae
Although the Baculoviridae are a large and diverse family of viruses, they are united by a number of shared features that form the basis for their unique life cycle. These include the mechanism of cell entry, genome replication and processing, and late and very late gene transcription. In this review, the molecular systems that are conserved within the
