Pareto-efficient biological pest control enable high efficacy at small costs [PDF]
, 2017 Biological pest control is increasingly used in agriculture as a an alternative to traditional chemical pest control. In many cases, this involves a one-off or periodic release of entomopathogens.

Characterization of a new Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) polyhedra mutant [PDF]
, 2009 In the very late phase of baculovirus infection, virions are occluded in a crystalline matrix called polyhedra, which is mainly composed of polyhedrin. This protein is highly conserved among baculoviruses and changes in its amino acid sequence may lead ...

Bioactivity of a betabaculovirus, Hyphantria cunea granulovirus, in six lepidopteran insects as potential hosts [PDF]
, 2021 The aim of this study, conducted in 2018 and 2020, was to investigate the bioactivity of a local baculovirus isolate, Hyphantria cunea granulovirus (HycuGV), in seven lepidopteran pests. Based on data collected 10 days after exposure, HycuGV was found to
