Transmission of a Gammabaculovirus within Cohorts of Balsam Fir Sawfly (Neodiprion abietis) Larvae

Insects, 2012
Nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPV: Gammabaculovirus: Baculoviridae) of diprionid sawflies (Diprionidae: Hymenoptera) are highly host specific and only infect the midgut epithelium.

The Host Specificities of Baculovirus per os Infectivity Factors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
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 ...

Sequence Analysis of the Spodoptera litura Multicapsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus Genome [PDF]

, 2001
The complete Spodoptera litura multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpltMNPV) genome contained 139,342 bp with a G+C content of 42.7%, and 141 putative open reading frames (ORFs) or genes of 150 nucleotides or greater that showed minimal overlap. Ninety-six

Baculovirus Genetic Diversity and Population Structure

Viruses
Baculoviruses can naturally regulate lepidopteran populations and are used as biological insecticides. The genetic diversity of these viruses affects their survival and efficacy in pest control.

Two Year Field Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Mamestra brassicae Nucleopolyhedrovirus Combined with Proteins Derived from Xestia c-nigrum Granulovirus

Viruses, 2015
Japan has only three registered baculovirus biopesticides despite its long history of studies on insect viruses. High production cost is one of the main hindrances for practical use of baculoviruses. Enhancement of insecticidal effect is one possible way

Determination of virulence and genetic variability of three Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrovirus isolates from Egypt

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2022
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 ...

Genome analysis of a Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus reveals a novel, large, double-stranded circular DNA virus [PDF]

, 2008
Several species of tsetse flies can be infected by the Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus (GpSGHV). Infection causes salivary gland hypertrophy and also significantly reduces the fecundity of the infected flies. To better understand the

Carbohydrate metabolism is a determinant for the host specificity of baculovirus infections

iScience, 2022
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.

We Are Dying to Eat You: Cannibalism and Disease Transmission Under Global Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), a devastating agricultural pest that can be infected by a lethal virus, readily cannibalize conspecifics. The armyworm in the photo has just consumed a smaller conspecific—note the head capsule of the victim in its mandibles. Cannibalistic consumption can impact disease transmission.

Field Efficacy and Transmission of Fast- and Slow-Killing Nucleopolyhedroviruses that Are Infectious to Adoxophyes honmai (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Viruses, 2015
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
