Viruses of commercialized insect pollinators

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2017
Managed insect pollinators are indispensable in modern agriculture. They are used worldwide not only in the open field but also in greenhouses to enhance fruit set, seed production, and crop yield. Managed honey bee (Apis mellifera, Apis cerana) colonies provide the majority of commercial pollination although other members of the superfamily Apoidea ...

Inclusion-Type Insect Viruses

Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology, 1968
The best known insect viruses cause the formation of inclusions in the cells they infect. They were first observed in the mid-nineteenth century and since then have received considerable attention from entomologists and microbiologists. In recent years, several authors have reviewed studies on this group of viruses (Bergold, 1958; Aizawa, 1963; Smith ...

Enzyme synergistic for insect viruses

Nature, 1975
A GRANULOSIS virus (GV) and a nuclear-polyhedrosis virus (NPV) of the armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta, form a synergistic association in which the infection of the NPV is enhanced1. The synergistic factor responsible for the enhancement (56-fold) occurs in the protein of the inclusion body (capsule) that surrounds the particle of GV2,3.

Latency of Insect Viruses

Advances in Virus Research, 1986
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the concept of latency as synonymous with inapparent infection. A description of the kinds of insect viruses cited in various reports on latency is provided. However, the chapter also considers the arthropod-borne viruses of animals and plants as worthy of inclusion, as they are known to multiply in insect ...

Specificity of Insect Viruses

Bulletin of the Entomological Society of America, 1968
Specificity in its strictest sense is limited to the species taxon. A virus to be specific must multiply only in one species of host. In common usage we rarely restrict ourselves to this definition but modify it according to the taxon under discussion and so speak of species-specific or generic-specific, and so on to higher taxonomic categories ...

Leveraging Insect Viruses and Genetic Manipulation for Sustainable Agricultural Pest Control.

Pest Management Science, 2023
Insect viruses have long been recognized for their potential as biological control agents in managing agricultural pests. Despite their promise, challenges such as host specificity, virulence, and limited viral resources have hindered their widespread ...
