The smaller tea tortrix, Adoxophyes honmai (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is an economically important pest of tea in Japan. Previous work showed that a fast-killing nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) isolated from A. orana (AdorNPV) and a slow-killing NPV isolated

Molecular and biological characteristics of some geographic isolates of nucleopolyhedrovirus of Helicoverpa armigera (Lep.: Noctuidae) [PDF]
Seven geographic isolates of Helicoverpa armigera NPV were characterized by PCR-RFLP techniques and their comparative virulence to second instar larvae of H. armigera (Hübner) were compared before and after exposure to simulated sunlight as well as open

Lymantria dispar Nucleopolyhedrovirus hrf-1 Expands the Larval Host Range of Autographa californica Nucleopolyhedrovirus [PDF]
ABSTRACT The gypsy moth ( Lymantria dispar ) is nonpermissive for Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcNPV) infection. We previously isolated a gene, host range factor 1 ( hrf-1 ), from L.

The Host Specificities of Baculovirus per os Infectivity Factors. [PDF]
Baculoviruses are insect-specific pathogens with a generally narrow host ranges. Successful primary infection is initiated by the proper interaction of at least 8 conserved per os infectivity factors (PIFs) with the host's midgut cells, a process that ...

Ubiquitin (UB) is a conserved protein that regulates a number of processes in eukaryotic cells. Nearly all lepidopteran baculoviruses encode UB homologs showing a partial sequence identity with human UB (Hu-UB). In this study, the sequence, predicted 3D-structure and subcellular localization of UB homologs encoded by two different ...

Background The genetic diversity is naturally occurring in baculovirus population, which may affect the potency of the bio-agent. The Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrovirus is a promising bio-control agent that can be used to control the cotton ...

Characterization of ORF127 of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus
It has been shown that Ha127 in the genome of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus (HaNPV) has homologs in some other baculoviruses and encodes a putative protein of 192 aa. In this study, a sequence analysis showed the transcription initiation site in Ha127 gene at nts 188 upstream of the translation initiation codon ATG and a potential leucine ...

The Bombyx mori latent virus (BmLV) belongs to the unassigned plant virus family Tymoviridae and contains a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome. BmLV has infected almost all B. mori-derived cultured cell lines through unknown routes. The source of

Carbohydrate metabolism is a determinant for the host specificity of baculovirus infections
Summary: Baculoviruses Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) and Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) have highly similar genome sequences but exhibit no overlap in their host range.
