Experimental and evolutionary evidence for horizontal transfer of an envelope fusion protein gene between thogotoviruses and baculoviruses [PDF]
Journal of VirologyBaculoviruses are insect-specific viruses with large, double-stranded DNA genomes classified into four genera. Alphabaculoviruses, which infect lepidoptera, are further divided into group I (G1-α) and group II (G2-α). The GP64 protein, essential for cell
