Prospects for altering host range for baculovirus bioinsecticides

Advances in the understanding of baculovirus replication and the identification of genes that affect host range set the stage for constructing recombinant baculoviruses for specific pest insects. The modification of baculovirus host specificity has recently been achieved by inserting or deleting gen...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Advances in the understanding of baculovirus replication and the identification of genes that affect host range set the stage for constructing recombinant baculoviruses for specific pest insects. The modification of baculovirus host specificity has recently been achieved by inserting or deleting genes that affect virus replication or cellular defenses.
