Abstract excerpt
Virulence and speed of action, as related to dose, are important effectiveness-determining properties of insect-pathogenic biocontrol agents. We used the droplet-feeding bioassay to compare dose responses between two wild-type baculoviruses, Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) and Spodoptera exigua MNPV (SeMNPV), and three deletion mutants of AcMNPV in S. exigua larvae. In each mutant...
