Baculovirus-induced tree-top disease: how extended is the role of egt as a gene for the extended phenotype?

Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

Many parasites alter host behaviour to enhance their chance of transmission. Recently, the ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyl transferase (egt) gene from the baculovirus Lymantria dispar multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (LdMNPV) was identified to induce tree-top disease in L. dispar larvae. Infected gypsy moth larvae died at elevated positions (hence the term tree-top disease), which is thought to promote dissemination of the...
