insect viruses การใช้

• Similarly to humans, insect viruses have evolved mechanisms to avoid the RNAi pathway.
• Viruses have the same problems to solve whether they are HIV or insect viruses,
• Baculoviruses are parasite double-stranded DNA insect viruses that are used mostly as biological control agents.
• WH2 proteins occur in eukaryotes from yeast to mammals, in insect viruses, and in some bacteria.
• Polydnaviruses are a unique group of insect viruses that have a mutualistic relationship with some parasitic wasps.
• The company's goal was to use gene-splicing techniques and insect viruses to manufacture natural proteins that help prevent and treat human diseases.
• Even in the fully mature larvae, HpNPV can kill in 60 72 hours, making it one of the fastest acting insect viruses.
• Insect viruses have long been valued as biological control agents, since they have few negative effects on ecosystems compared with chemical pesticides.
• Scientists at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, for instance, are experimenting with insect viruses that kill boll weevils by arresting their development from larvae into adults.
• Researchers found evidence for the repeated HT of four different families of Helitrons in an unprecedented array of organisms, including mammals, reptiles, fish, invertebrates, and insect viruses.
• To get the altered gene back into silkworms, the scientists used an insect virus as a carrier, swapping out a gene in the virus with the modified gene.
• Picornavirus genomes contain only a single open reading frame ( ORF ) which is translated into a single polyprotein, but CrPV, as well as several other related insect viruses, is translated from two ORFs.
