Three cocluded insect viruses : a biophysical and biological study of the nuclear-polyhedrosis virus of Colias electo, the granulosis virus of Heliothis armigera and the nuclear-polyhedrosis virus of Heliothis zea
… in some detail of three virus strains of insect pests of agricultural importance, viz. a nuclear-polyhedrosis virus of the lucerne caterpillar, Colias electo, and a granulosis virus of the bollworm, Heliothis armigera, both found in South Africa, and a nuclear-polyhedrosis virus of the …

Application of polyhedrin protein microparticles for in vivo vaccine and biologics delivery: a proof-of-concept study
… is naturally found within the life-cycle of insect viruses, whereby the encapsulation of mature viral particles by polyhedrin crystals enables the insect viruses to survive degradation in harsh environments prior to infection with a new host. Using protein tags derived from a polyhedrin …

Viruses of Heliothis armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera : Noctuidae)
… It is often simultaneously infected with several insect viruses: nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV), granulosis virus (GV), and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV). Both NPV and GV have been previously studied because of their ready availability and their potential use in pest control. However, …

Characterization of Negeviruses and insect virome interactions during co-infection in cell culture
Negeviruses are a newly described taxon of insect-specific viruses (ISVs) that show potential to be used as a virus-based pathogen control strategy through superinfection exclusion. Due to its recent discovery, little is known about the biology of these ISVs or how they interact with the insect’s …
