Article Synopsis
- Genetic engineering was used to introduce six ascovirus genes into Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) to enhance its insecticidal properties by combining traits from both viruses.
- The modified viruses, AcMNPV-111 and AcMNPV-165, showed higher viral production and insecticidal efficiency, significantly reducing the time (LT) and dose (LD) needed to impact Spodoptera exigua larvae compared to the wild-type AcMNPV-Egfp.
- The study demonstrated that these recombinant viruses have stable virulence across different instar larvae, with recommendations for optimal infection doses to maximize the production of these enhanced baculoviruses for use as biological insect
