Baculoviridae - Wikipedia
Baculoviridae is a family of viruses. Arthropods, among the most studied being Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera, serve as natural hosts. Currently, 85 species are placed in this family, assigned to four genera. [1][2][3] Baculoviruses are known to infect insects, with over 600 host species having been described.
Baculoviruses (Baculoviridae) - Cornell University
Baculoviruses are pathogens that attack insects and other arthropods. Like some human viruses, they are usually extremely small (less than a thousandth of a millimeter across), and are composed primarily of double-stranded DNA that codes for genes needed for virus establishment and reproduction.
Baculoviruses: Sophisticated Pathogens of Insects - PMC
The baculoviruses (family: Baculoviridae) are a group of large DNA viruses that infect insects. These viruses are well known for their utility and versatility as gene expression vectors, biological pesticides, and vectors for transduction of mammalian cells [1] – [3] .

Introduction to the baculoviruses, their taxonomy, and evolution
Despite the limited set of genes that baculoviruses share, they do provide insight into some of the major functions required of all baculoviruses such as a common virion structure, the necessity to infect gut cells, and the use of a novel polymerase for the expression of late genes.
The baculovirus replication cycle: Effects on cells and insects
Baculoviruses, such as AcMNPV, have evolved to initiate infection in the insect midgut and then spread the infection to other tissues throughout the insect. This led to the evolution of two types of virions with major differences in their envelope structure.
Baculovirus - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Baculoviruses are a family of viruses that infect insects of the orders Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera. There are over 600 described species of baculoviruses [18]. The majority of characterized baculoviruses infect Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). Baculoviruses infect the larval (caterpillar) stages of their hosts by the oral route.
Baculoviridae - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Baculoviruses are large, enveloped dsDNA viruses that infect invertebrates. They encompass four genera, designated as alpha-, beta-, gamma- and deltabaculovirus. Baculovirions contain a rod-shaped nucleocapsid of 250–300 nm by 30–60 nm enclosed in a lipid envelope.
Baculovirus: Molecular Insights on Their Diversity and Conservation
Abstract. The Baculoviridae is a large group of insect viruses containing circular double-stranded DNA genomes of 80 to 180 kbp. In this study, genome sequences from 57 baculoviruses were analyzed to reevaluate the number and identity of core genes and to understand the distribution of the remaining coding sequences.
Baculoviruses: diversity, evolution and manipulation of insects
2014年7月10日 · Baculoviruses, members of the family Baculoviridae, are large, enveloped viruses that contain a double-stranded circular DNA genome of 80–180 kbp, encoding 90–180 putative proteins. These viruses are exclusively pathogenic for arthropods, particularly insects, and have been developed, or are being developed, as environmentally sound ...
