Genetic Variation and Biological Activity of Two Closely Related Alphabaculoviruses during Serial Passage in Permissive and Semi-Permissive Heterologous Hosts. [PDF]
Phylogenetic analyses suggest that Mamestra brassicae multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (MbMNPV) and Helicoverpa armigera multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearMNPV) may be strains of the same virus species.

Environmental factors affecting RNAi efficacy: Temperature but not plant cultivar influences Colorado potato beetle's response to insecticidal dsRNA. [PDF]
Colorado potato beetle's RNA interference (RNAi) response was enhanced when insecticidal dsactin was consumed at high temperatures. The enhanced RNAi outcomes at high temperatures were not a function of dose or the expression of core RNAi genes. The potato cultivar consumed by Colorado potato beetle larvae did not affect RNAi outcomes, but larvae did ...

Whole genome analysis of a novel Spodoptera exigua nucleopolyhedrovirus isolate (SeMNPV-IR) to Iran. [PDF]
Baculoviruses are successful microbial control agents used in the biological control of agricultural pest species, especially in the order Lepidoptera. The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua is a popular agricultural pest in the world. S exigua larvae, which are active in the all-summer period, cause economic losses by damaging many crops in agricultural

[Establishment of SeMNPV persistent infection in Spotoptera exigua cells]. [PDF]
Persistent baculovirus infection is observed frequently in insect populations. Persistent infection can be transformed to a replicative and infective state caused by stress factors and plays an important role in regulating the size of insect population and in epizoology of baculoviruses.

Targeted review of maximum residue levels (MRLs) for profenofos
Abstract In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) 396/2005, EFSA received a request from the European Commission to review the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the non‐approved active substance profenofos in view of the possible lowering of the MRL. EFSA investigated the origin of the current EU MRLs.

Statement on the revised targeted risk assessment for certain maximum residue levels for nicotine
Abstract In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) of Ireland requested EFSA to re‐evaluate the acute (short‐term) risk for European consumers related to nicotine exposure via residues in rose hips (code 0154050), teas (Camellia sinensis, 0610000) and capers (0850020) at the ...

Vegetable waste extracts as enhancers of baculovirus infections
Vegetable waste extracts (VWE) contain a great variety of antioxidants such as polyphenols, which have shown to potentiate baculovirus infections, making them ingredients for pest control ingredients.

A novel baculovirus-derived promoter with high activity in the baculovirus expression system [PDF]
The baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) has been widely used to produce a large number of recombinant proteins, and is becoming one of the most powerful, robust, and cost-effective systems for the production of eukaryotic proteins.

An efficient algorithm for optimizing whole genome alignment with noise [PDF]
Motivation: This paper is concerned with algorithms for aligning two whole genomes so as to identify regions that possibly contain conserved genes. Motivated by existing heuristic-based software tools, we initiate the study of an optimization problem ...
