Genomic sequence analysis of granulovirus isolated from the tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Spodoptera litura is a noctuid moth that is considered an agricultural pest. The larvae feed on a wide range of plants and have been recorded on plants from 40 plant families (mostly dicotyledons). It is a major pest of many crops.

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 ...

Characterization of a new Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) polyhedra mutant [PDF]
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 ...

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.

Can low concentration flufenoxuron treatment increase the pathogenicity or production of nucleopolyhedrovirus occlusion bodies in Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) or Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)? (English) [PDF]
Los nucleopoliedrovirus (Baculoviridae) son patógenos letales que infectan de manera natural a las larvas de lepidópteros. El inhibidor de la síntesis de quitina flufenoxuron, ha sido reportado como un potenciador de las propiedades insecticidas de los ...

Pareto-efficient biological pest control enable high efficacy at small costs [PDF]
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.
