Soil as an Environmental Reservoir for Baculoviruses: Persistence, Dispersal and Role in Pest Control

Soil Systems, 2023
Baculoviruses are DNA viruses that can naturally control insects and form the basis for a range of biological insecticides. These viruses are occluded in a crystalline protein matrix, the occlusion body (OB), which favors their persistence in the ...

The seminal plasma microbiome of men with testicular germ cell tumours described by small RNA sequencing

Andrology, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 756-769, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Background It has been estimated that microorganisms are involved in the pathogenesis of approximately 20% of all cancers. Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common type of malignancy in young men and arise from the precursor cell, germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS).

Few indirect effects of baculovirus on parasitoids demonstrate high compatibility of biocontrol methods against Tuta absoluta

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.
