چکیده
Spilarctia obliqua nucleopolyhedrosis virus (SoNPV) has been found effective against S. obliqua (Walker) as well as Porthesia xanthorrhoea Kollar. LC50 concentration of S. obliqua SoNPV against S. obliqua and P. xanthorrhoea was 2.5 x 10(4) and 3.7 x 10(4) POBs/ml, respectively. LT50 of SoNPV against S. obliqua was 5.73 days, while it was 6.98 days for P. xanthorrhoea. Cross infectivity of SoNPV against P. xanthorrhoea and ease of its mass production may make it an ideal biopesticide.

Efficacy of Spodoptera litura multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus after serial passage through the homologous insect larval host.
An originally isolated baculovirus, Spodoptera litura multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpltMNPV) was serially passed through the S. litura larvae for upto four generations to determine the mean number of occlusion bodies (OBs) harvested per larva and their efficacy in terms of infectivity, feeding cessation and speed of kill of host larvae. The results revealed that the mean number of OBs harvest...
متن کاملBotanicals against Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus infecting three breeds of mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori L
Mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori L, most valued for silk and other medicinal products is prone to various biotic stresses among which the disease caused by Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (BmNPV) is most serious as it occurs throughout the year causing losses to the tune of 30-40 per cent. Studies conducted on eco friendly management of the disease using botanicals revealed that 800 ppm hexane leaf ex...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Simian Rotavirus Spike Protein (VP4) in Insect Cells by Baculovirus Expression System
Background: VP4 protein is as spikes on rotavirus outer capsid shell which is responsible for virus attachment to the host. VP4 induces production of neutralizing antibodies which could be used for serotyping of different isolates. Methods: Simian rotavirus SA11 gene 4 cDNA was cloned into a cloning plasmid pDONRTM by recombination reaction using clonase II enzyme mix. The resulting clone was c...

Nonoccluded virus, polyhedra, and occluded virus were purified from a continuous cell culture of Spodopera frugiperda infected with nuclear polyhedrosis virus. The optimal temperature for the replication and lateral transmission of infectivity for the nuclear polyhedrosis viruses (NPV) in cell culture was 27 C. End-point dilution and plaque assay procedures for the measurement of infectivity ar...

Nuclear extracts, prepared from Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus-infected Spodoptera frugiperda cells during a time course of infection, were analyzed for activation of early gene transcription and for late gene transcription. The templates used in the in vitro transcription assays contained promoters for baculovirus genes that have been classified as immediate early, delayed e...
