Phenotypic and molecular insights into a cypovirus isolated from Antheraea assamensis Helfer (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) and modelling of its polyhedrin protein structure.

Abstract excerpt

Antheraea assamensis Helfer (A. assamensis) or Muga silkworm is popularly known for producing golden silk and endemic to the region of Northeast India. The present work characterizes a cypovirus variant infecting A. assamensis larvae, exhibiting characteristic symptoms of flacherie disease.
