The nucleotide sequence of the Orgyia pseudotsugata multinucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (OpMNPV) genome was completed and analyzed. It is composed of 131,990 bases with a G + C content of 55% and contains 152 putative genes of 150 nucleotides or greater. Major differences in gene content and arrangement between OpMNPV and the Autographa californica MNPV were found. These include the presence in OpMNPV of three complete iap gene homologs, two conotoxin gene homologs, two protein tyrosine phosphatase homologs, and genes encoding homologs of dUTPase and the large and small subunits of ribonucleotide reductase. Seven major intergenic repeated regions were identified. Five of these are homologous regions that are related to similar regions from other baculoviruses.

LesaNPV (Leucoma salicis nucleopolyhedrovirus) is an alphabaculovirus group Ib. Potentially, it can be an eco-friendly agent to control the white satin moth Leucoma salicis population. In this study, we have established the relationship between LesaNPV and other closely related alphabaculoviruses.

The economically important pale tussock moth Dasychira pudibunda L. (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), known as a beech pest in Europe, primarily inflicts damage on beech leaves. In the present study, we aim to reveal the genome characteristics of Dasychira pudibunda nucleopolyhedrovirus (DapuNPV-T1), which was detected for the first time in Turkey and compare it with the reference genome and other baculovirus genomes.

The high-throughput sequencing method was used for the first time to determined complete mitochondrial genome of . The complete mitochondrial genome was a circular molecule with 15,258 bp in full-length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). The nucleotide composition of mitogenome was A: 37.

Baculoviruses are capable of infecting a wide diversity of insect pests. In the 1990s, the Dione juno nucleopolyhedrovirus (DijuNPV) was isolated from larvae of the major passionfruit defoliator pest (Nymphalidae) and described at ultrastructural and pathological levels. In this study, the complete genome sequence of DijuNPV was determined and analyzed.
