Baculovirus <i>bv/odv-e26</i> is required for host behavioral manipulation by optimizing viral virulence to lepidopteran hosts
2022-05-26
Abstract excerpt
Host behavioral manipulation is a widely used strategy for parasites to enhance their transmission. Lepidopteran nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs) induce hyperactivity and alteration of behavioral patterns in host insect larvae. Previous studies revealed that Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) does not induce hyperactivity in larval Bombyx mori , when Bm8 , a homologue of the baculovirus bv/odv-e26 gene, is...
