Publication Open Access A native variant of Chrysodeixis chalcites nucleopolyhedrovirus: the basis for a promising bioinsecticide for control of C. chalcites in Canary Islands' banana crops(Elsevier, 2013-08-13) Bernal Rodríguez, Alexandra; Williams, Trevor; Hernández Suárez, Estrella; Carnero, Aurelio; Caballero Murillo, Primitivo; Simón de Goñi, Oihane; Producción Agraria; Nekazaritza Ekoizpena; IdAB. Instituto de Agrobiotecnología / Agrobioteknologiako InstitutuaChrysodeixis chalcites (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae cause up to 30% production loss in banana crops in the Canary Islands. Larvae of this species are susceptible to a nucleopolyhedrovirus (ChchNPV). This study aimed at evaluating the genetic diversity and bioinsecticidal activity of ChchNPV isolates collected from C. chalcites larvae in the Canary Islands. From a total 97 isolates collected in different banana greenhouses, restriction endonuclease analysis identified five genetic variants that differed slightly from ChchNPV isolates from Netherlands (ChchSNPV-NL) and Almería, Spain (ChchNPV-SP1). Physical maps revealed minimal differences at the genome level, mostly due to variation in the position/existence of restriction sites. ChchSNPV-TF1 was the most prevalent variant, representing 78% of isolates examined, and was isolated at all Canary Island sampling sites. This isolate was the most pathogenic isolate against C. chalcites second instars in terms of concentration-mortality metrics, compared to homologous variants or two heterologous viruses Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) and Anagrapha falcifera multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AnfaMNPV). ChchSNPV-TF1 was also one of the fastest killing variants although no differences were observed in occlusion body production among the different variants in second instars. We conclude that ChchSNPV-TF1 merits further evaluation as the basis for a biological insecticide for control of C. chalcites in banana crops in the Canary Islands.Publication Open Access Remarkably efficient production of a highly insecticidal Chrysodeixis chalcites nucleopolyhedrovirus (ChchNPV) isolate in its homologous host(Wiley, 2018-01-03) Bernal Rodríguez, Alexandra; Simón de Goñi, Oihane; Williams, Trevor; Muñoz Labiano, Delia; Caballero Murillo, Primitivo; Producción Agraria; Nekazaritza Ekoizpena; IdAB. Instituto de Agrobiotecnología / Agrobioteknologiako InstitutuaBackground: a Chrysodeixis chalcites nucleopolyhedrovirus from the Canary Islands (ChchNPV-TF1) has proved to be effective for control of Chrysodeixis chalcites on banana crops. Commercialization of this virus as a bioinsecticide requires an efficient production system. Results: the sixth instar (L6) was the most suitable for virus production, producing 1.80 × 1011 occlusion bodies (OB)/larva and showed a lower prevalence of cannibalism (5.4%) than fourth (L4) or fifth (L5) instars. Inoculation of L6 at 24 h post molting produced six times more OB (5.72 × 1011 OB/larva) than recently molted L6 larvae (1.00 × 1011 OB/larva). No significant differences were recorded in mean time to death (165–175 h) or OB production per larva (3.75 × 1011 to 5.97 × 1011) or per mg larval weight (1.30 × 1011 to 2.11 × 109), in larvae inoculated with a range of inoculum concentrations (LC50–LC90). Groups of infected L6 larvae reared at a density of 150 larvae/container produced a greater total number of OBs (8.07 × 1013 OB/container) than lower densities (25, 50 and 100 OB/container), and a similar number to containers with 200 inoculated larvae (8.43 × 1013 OB/container). Conclusion: the processes described here allow efficient production of sufficient OBs to treat ∼ 40 ha of banana crops using the insects from a single container.
