Journal ArticleDOI
Baculovirus Diversity and Molecular Biology
TL;DR: Diversity in baculoviruses may reflect not only different selection pressures but also the diversity of mobile DNA within host insect species, as well as affect host range by accelerating the infection cycle and making the virus more virulent.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the classification and nomenclature of baculoviruses: A proposal for revision
Johannes A. Jehle,Gary W. Blissard,Bryony C. Bonning,Jenny S. Cory,Elisabeth A. Herniou,George F. Rohrmann,David A. Theilmann,S. M. Thiem,Just M. Vlak +8 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of 29 baculovirus genomes indicated that bacULovirus phylogeny followed the classification of the hosts more closely than morphological traits that have previously been used for classification of this virus family.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baculovirus gp64 envelope glycoprotein is sufficient to mediate pH-dependent membrane fusion.
Gary W. Blissard,J R Wenz +1 more
TL;DR: The baculovirus gp64 envelope glycoprotein is a major component of the envelope of the budded virus and is involved in BV entry into the host cell by endocytosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The GP64 envelope fusion protein is an essential baculovirus protein required for cell-to-cell transmission of infection.
TL;DR: GP64 EFP is an essential virion structural protein that is required for propagation of the budded virus from cell to cell and for systemic infection of the host insect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Requirement for GP64 to drive efficient budding of Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus.
A.G.P. Oomens,Gary W. Blissard +1 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that GP64 is an important and limiting factor in BV production, and the GP64 CTD is not essential for production of infectious BV, but removal of the CTD results in a measurable reduction in budding efficiency.
