Progressive Adaptation of a CpGV Isolate to Codling Moth Populations Resistant to CpGV-M

open access: yesViruses, 2014
The NPP-R1 isolate of CpGV is able to replicate on CpGV-M-resistant codling moths. However, its efficacy is not sufficient to provide acceptable levels of control in natural (orchard) conditions.

Bacsnp: Using Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Specificities and Frequencies to Identify Genotype Composition in Baculoviruses

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Natural isolates of baculoviruses (as well as other dsDNA viruses) generally consist of homogenous or heterogenous populations of genotypes. The number and positions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from sequencing data are often used as ...

Dissipation study of ten insecticides in apples under field conditions

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 12, Page 6603-6614, September 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Apples are among the most widely cultivated fruits in temperate climate zone. Given the potential of pests and diseases to cause significant damage to fruit production, orchardists rely on using insecticides and fungicides in infested orchards to protect apple yields.

A comparison of the EU and US regulatory frameworks for the active substance registration of microbial biological control agents

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 87-103, January 2019., 2019
This article compares the regulation of microbial biopesticide registration in the European Union (EU) and the USA, discussing regulatory differences and resulting obstacles. EU registration takes substantially longer, lagging mostly at the national level.

Increased proportion of exclusion netting in the landscape affects pest damage in unnetted apple orchards

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 790-800, April 2025.
This study is the first to reveal that nets significantly impact pest dynamics on the scale of agricultural landscapes. We recommend landscape‐scale coordination in the deployment of nets, along with additional protective measures to mitigate their unintended effects on pests at the local and landscape scales.

Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 7: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2017

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2018., 2018
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) concept was developed to provide a harmonised generic pre‐evaluation to support safety risk assessments of biological agents performed by EFSA's scientific Panels. The identity, body of knowledge, safety concerns and antimicrobial resistance of valid taxonomic units were assessed.

NezhNPV, a new biocontrol agent for Nesodiprion zhejiangensis Zhou & Xiao (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae), an emerging forest pest

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 1171-1185, March 2025.
Here, a naturally occurring baculovirus and a new biocontrol agent, NezhNPV, which infects a multivoltine forest pest, Nesodiprion zhejiangenis, was characterized by field efficacy trial, electron microscopy and genome sequencing. Abstract BACKGROUND Nesodiprion zhejiangensis, a multivoltine sawfly, is widely distributed in south China and has caused ...

Scientific Opinion on the update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2017., 2017
Abstract EFSA is requested to assess the safety of a broad range of biological agents in the context of notification for market authorisation as sources of food and feed additives, food enzymes and plant protection products. The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) assessment was developed to provide a harmonised generic pre‐assessment to support ...

Granulovirus GP37 Facilitated ODVs Cross Insect Peritrophic Membranes and Fuse with Epithelia

open access: yesToxins, 2019
The Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) GP37 has synergistic effects on the infectivity of nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs), however, the mechanism employed is unclear. In this study, in vitro and in vivo binding assays indicated that GP37 efficiently bound
