Abstract excerpt
We investigated variations in the gene expression of Bombyx mori following infection with a nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV). Two B. mori strains, KN and 306, which are highly resistant and susceptible to BmNPV infection, respectively, were used in this study. The infection profiles of BmNPV in the B. mori KN and 306 larvae revealed that the virus invaded the midguts of both these strains. However, its proliferation...
