    En la presente tesis se ha examinado la variabilidad genética de varios aislados de campo del nucleopoliedrovirus de Chrysodeixis includens (ChinNPV). Los resultados obtenidos revelan la gran variabilidad presente en los aislados naturales de ChinNPV, confirma las diferencias existentes entre dos variantes genotípicas procedentes de esos aislados y, lo más importante, parecen identificar a la variante ChinNPV-K como generadora de variabilidad en esos aislados. En conclusión, hemos encontrado una gran variabilidad en aislados naturales de ChinNPV, con una sola variante que muestra un papel clave en la generación de esta diversidad de manera dependiente de la concentración.

    Generation of variability in Chrysodeixis includens nucleopolyhedrovirus (ChinNPV): the role of a single variant

    The mechanisms generating variability in viruses are diverse. Variability allows baculoviruses to evolve with their host and with changes in their environment. We examined the role of one genetic variant of Chrysodeixis includens nucleopolyhedrovirus (ChinNPV) and its contribution to the variability of the virus under laboratory conditions. A mixture of natural isolates (ChinNPVMex1) contained two genetic variants that dominated over other variants in individual larvae that consumed high (ChinNPV-K) and low (ChinNPV-E) concentrations of inoculum. Studies on the ChinNPV-K variant indicated that it was capable of generating novel variation in a concentrationdependent manner. In cell culture, cells inoculated with high concentrations of ChinNPV-K produced OBs with the ChinNPV-K REN profile, whereas a high diversity of ChinNPV variants was recovered following plaque purification of low concentrations of ChinNPV-K virion inoculum. Interestingly, the ChinNPV-K variant could not be recovered from plaques derived from low concentration inocula originating from budded virions or occlusion-derived virions of ChinNPV-K. Genome sequencing revealed marked differences between ChinNPV-K and ChinNPV-E, with high variation in the ChinNPV-K genome, mostly due to single nucleotide polymorphisms. We conclude that ChinNPV-K is an unstable genetic variant that is responsible for generating much of the detected variability in the natural ChinNPV isolates used in this study.
