Enhancins are metalloproteinases that facilitate baculovirus infection in the insect midgut. They are more prevalent in granuloviruses (GVs), constituting up to 5% of the proteins of viral occlusion bodies (OBs).

Partial Functional Rescue of Helicoverpa armigera Single Nucleocapsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus Infectivity by Replacement of F Protein with GP64 from Autographa californica Multicapsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus [PDF]
Two distinct envelope fusion proteins (EFPs) (GP64 and F) have been identified in members of the Baculoviridae family of viruses. F proteins are found in group II nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs) of alphabaculoviruses and in beta- and deltabaculoviruses ...

Codon usage in nucleopolyhedroviruses
Phylogenetic analyses based on baculovirus polyhedrin nucleotide and amino acid sequences revealed two major nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) clades, designated Group I and Group II. Subsequent phylogenetic analyses have revealed three Group II subclades, designated A, B and C.

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.

Effects of single and mixed infections with wild type and genetically modified Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus on movement behaviour of cotton bollworm larvae [PDF]
Naturally occurring insect viruses can modify the behaviour of infected insects and thereby modulate virus transmission. Modifications of the virus genome could alter these behavioural effects.

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 ...

The genus Nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) of the family Baculoviridae can be subdivided phylogenetically into two groups. The same division can be made on the basis of their budded virus (BV) envelope fusion protein. Group I NPVs are characterized by the presence of a GP64-like major envelope fusion protein, which is involved in viral attachment and the ...

The nucleopolyhedroviruses of Rachiplusia ou and Anagrapha falcifera are isolates of the same virus
The 7·8 kb EcoRI-G fragment of Rachiplusia ou multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (RoMNPV), containing the polyhedrin gene, was cloned and sequenced. The sequence of the fragment was 92·3% identical to the sequence of the corresponding region in the Autographa californica (Ac)MNPV genome.

Comparative genome sequence analysis of Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman and C. rosaceana Harris (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) alphabaculoviruses. [PDF]
The complete genome sequences of Choristoneura occidentalis and C. rosaceana nucleopolyhedroviruses (ChocNPV and ChroNPV, respectively) (Baculoviridae: Alphabaculovirus) were determined and compared with each other and with those of other baculoviruses ...
