Generation of variability in Chrysodeixis includens nucleopolyhedrovirus (ChinNPV): the role of a single variant
(MDPI, 2021)
Artículo / Artikulua,
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 ...
Bacmid expression of granulovirus enhancin En3 accumulates in cell soluble fraction to potentiate nucleopolyhedrovirus infection
(MDPI, 2021)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Enhancins are metalloproteinases that facilitate baculovirus infection in the insect midgut.
They are more prevalent in granuloviruses (GVs), constituting up to 5% of the proteins of viral
occlusion bodies (OBs). In ...
Insecticidal traits of variants in a genotypically diverse natural isolate of anticarsia gemmatalis multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AgMNPV)
(MDPI, 2023)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Outbreaks of Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hübner, 1818) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), a major pest of soybean, can be controlled below economic thresholds with methods that do not involve the application of synthetic insecticides. ...
Iflavirus covert infection increases susceptibility to nucleopolyhedrovirus disease in Spodoptera exigua
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Naturally occurring covert infections in lepidopteran populations can involve multiple viruses with potentially different transmission strategies. In this study, we characterized covert infection by two RNA viruses, ...
Nucleopolyhedrovirus coocclusion technology: a new concept in the development of biological insecticides
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPV, Baculoviridae) that infect lepidopteran pests have an established record as safe and effective biological insecticides. Here, we describe a new approach for the development of NPV-based ...
Genetic variability of Chrysodeixis includens nucleopolyhedrovirus (ChinNPV) and the insecticidal characteristics of selected genotypic variants
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Genetic variation in baculoviruses is recognized as a key factor, not only due to the influence of such variation on pathogen transmission and virulence traits, but also because genetic variants can form the basis for novel ...
Baculovirus expression and functional analysis of Vpa2 proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The mode of action underlying the insecticidal activity of the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) binary pesticidal protein Vpa1/Vpa2 is uncertain. In this study, three recombinant baculoviruses were constructed using Bac-to-Bac ...
Quantification of dose-mortality responses in adult Diptera: validation using Ceratitis capitata and Drosophila suzukii responses to spinosad
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Quantitative laboratory bioassay methods are required to evaluate the toxicity of novel insecticidal compounds for pest control and to determine the presence of resistance traits. We used a radioactive tracer based on ...
Genetic variation and biological activity of two closely related alphabaculoviruses during serial passage in permissive and semi-permissive heterologous hosts
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Phylogenetic analyses suggest that Mamestra brassicae multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (MbMNPV) and Helicoverpa armigera multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearMNPV) may be strains of the same virus species. Most of the studies ...
Potential of Cry10Aa and Cyt2Ba, two minority δ-endotoxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis ser. israelensis, for the control of Aedes aegypti larvae
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Bacillus thuringiensis ser. israelensis (Bti) has been widely used as microbial larvicide for the control of many species of mosquitoes and blackflies. The larvicidal activity of Bti resides in Cry and Cyt δ-endotoxins ...
