Development of a Real-Time qPCR Assay for Quantification of Covert Baculovirus Infections in a Major African Crop Pest [PDF]

Insects, 2015
Many pathogens and parasites are present in host individuals and populations without any obvious signs of disease. This is particularly true for baculoviruses infecting lepidopteran hosts, where studies have shown that covert persistent viral infections ...

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 ...

Preparation and Evaluation of Zeolite Nanoparticles as a Delivery System for Helicoverpa armigera Nucleopolyhedrovirus (HaNPV) against the Spodoptera litura (Fabricius, 1775) Larvae

Microorganisms, 2023
Synthetic insecticides frequently cause pest resistance and destroy non-target organisms. Thus, virus formulation is an issue that deserves considerable attention in developing virus-based insecticides.

Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus occlusion-derived virus-associated protein, HA100, affects oral infectivity in vivo but not virus replication in vitro [PDF]

, 2011
ORF100 (ha100) of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV) has been reported as one of the unique genes of group II alphabaculoviruses encoding a protein located in the occlusion-derived virus (ODV) envelope and nucleocapsid.
