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.

DNA photolyases of Chrysodeixis chalcites nucleopolyhedrovirus are targeted to the nucleus and interact with chromosomes and mitotic spindle structures [PDF]
Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) photolyases convert UV-induced CPDs in DNA into monomers using visible light as the energy source. Two phr genes encoding class II CPD photolyases PHR1 and PHR2 have been identified in Chrysodeixis chalcites ...

Baculovirus Per Os Infectivity Factors Form a Complex on the Surface of Occlusion-Derived Virus [PDF]
Five highly conserved per os infectivity factors, PIF1, PIF2, PIF3, PIF4, and P74, have been reported to be essential for oral infectivity of baculovirus occlusion-derived virus (ODV) in insect larvae.

Low multiplicity of infection in vivo results in purifying selection against baculovirus deletion mutants [PDF]
The in vivo fate of Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus deletion mutants originating from serial passage in cell culture was investigated by passaging a population enriched in these mutants in insect larvae.

Pivotal role of the non-hr origin of DNA replication in the genesis of defective interfering baculoviruses [PDF]
The generation of deletion mutants, including defective interfering viruses, upon serial passage of Spodoptera exigua multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) in insect cell culture has been studied. Sequences containing the non-homologous region origin

History and Current Status of Development and Use of Viral Insecticides in China
The use of insect viruses as biological control agents started in the early 1960s in China. To date, more than 32 viruses have been used to control insect pests in agriculture, forestry, pastures, and domestic gardens in China. In 2014, 57 products from

Autographa californica Multicapsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus efficiently infects Sf9 cells and transduces mammalian cells via direct fusion with the plasma membrane at low pH [PDF]
The budded virus (BV) of the Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) infects insect cells and transduces mammalian cells mainly through the endocytosis pathway.
