Characterization of the IκB-like gene family in polydnaviruses associated with wasps belonging to different Braconid subfamilies
15 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Polydnaviruses (PDVs) are obligate symbionts of hymenopteran parasitoids of lepidopteran larvae that induce host immunosuppression and physiological redirection. PDVs include bracoviruses (BVs) and ichnoviruses (IVs), which are associated with braconid and ichneumonid wasps, respectively. In this study, the gene family encoding IkappaB-like proteins in the BVs associated with Cotesia congregata (CcBV) and...
