Spatially Segregated Transmission of Co-Occluded Baculoviruses Limits Virus–Virus Interactions Mediated by Cellular Coinfection during Primary Infection [PDF]
Viruses, 2022 The occlusion bodies (OBs) of certain alphabaculoviruses are polyhedrin-rich structures that mediate the collective transmission of tens of viral particles to the same insect host.

Nucleopolyhedrovirus Coocclusion Technology: A New Concept in the Development of Biological Insecticides [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPV, Baculoviridae) that infect lepidopteran pests have an established record as safe and effective biological insecticides. Here, we describe a new approach for the development of NPV-based insecticides.

The Role of Chrysoperla carnea (Steph.) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) as a Potential Dispersive Agent of Noctuid Baculoviruses [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Baculoviruses (BV) are highly effective against lepidopteran pests of economic importance such as Spodoptera exigua. The combined use of entomopathogens and macrobiological control agents requires the study of their relationships.
