Insect pathogens as biological control agents: back to the future [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The development and use of entomopathogens as classical, conservation and augmentative biological control agents have included a number of successes and some setbacks in the past 15 years. In this forum paper we present current information on development,

Ingestion and Defecation of Recombinant and Wild-Type Nucleopolyhedroviruses by Scavenging and Predatory Arthropods [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Entomology, 2000
Wild-type and recombinant nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs) were compared with respect to their potential for environmental transport by the predatory spined soldier bug Podisus maculiventris (Say), the scavenging fly Sarcophaga bullata (Parker), and the house cricket Acheta domesticus (L.).

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

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

In Vitro Studies on the Virulence of Spodoptera Litura Baculovirus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Baculoviruses have been used as biopesticides against economic pests in agriculture, forestry and landscapes. In vitro production of baculoviruses has often been considered especially because of the ease of large-scale propagation.

In vitro phagocytosis of occlusion bodies of nucleopolyhedroviruses by insect cell lines.

open access: yesApplied Entomology and Zoology, 2001
The phagocytosis of five established cell lines, IPLB-Sf-5-5C, UCR-Se-1, NTU-Sl-1A, NTU-Pn-HH, and IPLB-Ld652Y was examined by fluoresbrite carbosylate particle uptake. The phagocytic action of the Sf-5-5C cells was highly efficient compared to other cells, while Pn-HH cells showed no phagocytic action.

New cell lines from Ephestia kuehniella: Characterization and susceptibility to baculoviruses

open access: yesJournal of Insect Science, 2004
New cell lines from embryos of Ephestia kuehniella were recently developed. Primary cultures were initiated in September 2002 from 2 to 4 day old eggs in either modified TC-100 or Ex-Cell 400 medium.

N-Glycan Modification of a Recombinant Protein via Coexpression of Human Glycosyltransferases in Silkworm Pupae

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Recombinant proteins produced in insect cells and insects, unlike those produced in mammalian cells, have pauci-mannose-type N-glycans. In this study, we examined complex-type N-glycans on recombinant proteins via coexpression of human β-1,2-N ...

Insect-selective spider toxins targeting voltage-gated sodium channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel is a target for a number of drugs, insecticides and neurotoxins. These bind to at least seven identified neurotoxin binding sites and either block conductance or modulate Nav channel gating.

The geometry of nutrient space–based life-history trade-offs: Sex-specific effects of macronutrient intake on the trade-off between encapsulation ability and reproductive effort in decorated crickets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This is the final version of the article. Available from University of Chicago Press via the DOI in this record.Life-history theory assumes that traits compete for limited resources, resulting in trade-offs.
