Assembly and Genome Annotation of Different Strains of Apple Fruit Moth Virus (Cydia pomonella granulovirus). [PDF]
Int J Mol SciCydia pomonella granulovirus is a natural pathogen for Cydia pomonella that is used as a biocontrol agent of insect populations. The study of granulovirus virulence is of particular interest since the development of resistance in natural populations of C. pomonella has been observed during the long-term use of the Mexican isolate CpGV. In our study, we

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1431-1441, April 2023., 2023 Baculoviruses are used for pest control in agroecosystems, where parasitoids are present. We assessed whether parasitoids discriminate against virus‐infected hosts and examined the effect of the virus on parasitoid offspring. We found few indirect effects of the virus on the parasitoids, indicating that both agents can be combined.
