relationship between nuclear polyhedrosis virus susceptibility and larval weight in heliothis armigera
the population response of heliothis armigera larvae to nuclear polyhedrosis virus (npv) was investigated. the virus was introduced by permitting the larvae to feed on lettuce leaves. median lethal doses (ld50) were determined. the estimated ld50 values for the first, second, third, early, and late fourth larval instars were 5, 141, 1226, 5168 and 24553 polyhedra per larva respectively. in ...
متن کاملCharacterization of nuclear polyhedrosis virus DNAs.
The nuclear polyhedrosis virus DNAs characterized and compared in this study consist of the singly-enveloped nucleocapsids (SNPV) of Trichoplusia ni and the bundles of nucleocapsids common to a single envelope (MNPV) from Spodoptera frugiperda and Rachiplusia ou. The SNPV and MNPV DNAs are very similar in hydrodynamic properties and molecular weights. In addition, the NPV DNAs are similar in si...
متن کاملVirus envelope acquisition of nuclear polyhedrosis virus in vitro.
There have been several reports concerned with the replication and morphogenesis of insect baculoviruses during the past decade [1--7]. While there is general agreement as to the assembly of the virus on the basis of electron microscopic studies, there are still questions regarding the details of the replicative mechanisms, such as the acquisition of the virus envelope. Three possible ways have...
متن کاملNuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV), A Potential Biopesticide: A Review
The indiscriminate use of pesticides for the last 40 years has almost eliminated natural enemies from many crop eco-systems. This scenario has led many countries to consider the potential of biological control as a component of pest management. At present, the world market for microbial pesticides is in excess of US $ 125 million per annum which is still less than 1 percent of the total global ...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of the polyhedrin gene region of Helicoverpa zea single nucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus: placement of the virus in lepidopteran nuclear polyhedrosis virus group II.
The polyhedrin gene (polh) of Helicoverpa zea single nucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HzSNPV) was identified and shown by sequence analysis of the EcoRI I genomic fragment to encode a 246 amino acid polypeptide that has greater than 80% sequence identity to known polyhedrins. It is preceded by an AT-rich region containing the conserved late promoter motif TAAG, which was identified as a...
