Biosafety of Recombinant and Wild Type Nucleopolyhedroviruses as Bioinsecticides

Biosafety of Recombinant and Wild Type Nucleopolyhedroviruses as Bioinsecticides

The entomopathogenic Autographa californica (Speyer) nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) has been genetically modified to increase its speed of kill. The potential adverse effects of a recombinant AcMNPV (AcAaIT) as well as wild type AcMNPV and wild type Spodoptera littoralis NPV (SlNPV) were studied. Cot...
