Abstract: In this review, we provide an overview of the current status of recombinant baculoviruses, describe the development of genetically engineered baculoviruses for use as rapid-action biological insecticides, and provide more detailed information on one particular set of recombinant viruses. The advantages and disadvantages of recombinant baculovirus insecticides, and the importance of risk-assessment studies of these genetically modified organisms, are reviewed. Finally the importance of sensible regulatory strategies to the success and future prospects of this technology is discussed.

Baculovirus-mediated expression of a Chinese scorpion neurotoxin improves insecticidal efficacy
TL;DR: An Buthus martensii Karsch Insect Toxin gene was inserted into the genome of Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus to construct a recombinant baculovirus, AcMNPV-BmK IT, which was confirmed using RT-PCR, dot blot and SDS-PAGE analysis.

Control of the coconut pest Oryctes rhinoceros L. using the Oryctes virus
TL;DR: This review provides an account of this microbial agent, its biology, effects and impact, production and maintenance and alternative hosts, particularly in the context of the Indian situation, and proposes future areas for investigation on the virus, in order to achieve its commercial viability and more widespread use.

Impact of recombinant baculovirus field applications on a nontarget heliothine parasitoid, Microplitis croceipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).
TL;DR: Recombinant and wild-type viruses had a similar, minimal impact on emergent wasps, and the probability of virus dispersal via parasitoids is low in the system tested.

- 21 Mar 2012
TL;DR: A review of Baculovirus enhancins and their role in the earliest phases of viral infection is provided by Rohrmann et al. as discussed by the authors, where they focus on viral genes that are involved in the initial and early processes of infection and host factors that impede successful infection.

The complete DNA sequence of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus.
TL;DR: The complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of clone 6 of the baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) has been determined and it is proposed that clone C6 is considered the archetype AcNPV for comparison purposes.
