Insect cell lines and baculoviruses as effective biocontrol agents of forest pests
Background Canada is a nation of trees. Canadian forests cover 50% of Canada’s land area and represent 10% of world’s forested area. Canada exports more processed forest products than any other country. It is also a host to a variety of forest insects both native and non native that limit the economic, recreational and wildlife habitat use. Our research focuses on initiating insect cell lines, ...
متن کاملMyco-Biocontrol of Insect Pests: Factors Involved, Mechanism, and Regulation
The growing demand for reducing chemical inputs in agriculture and increased resistance to insecticides have provided great impetus to the development of alternative forms of insect-pest control. Myco-biocontrol offers an attractive alternative to the use of chemical pesticides. Myco-biocontrol agents are naturally occurring organisms which are perceived as less damaging to the environment. The...
متن کاملComparative susceptibilities of twelve insect cell lines to infection by three baculoviruses.
Insect cell lines are commonly used to study insect viruses (Blissard, 1996) and have often been considered for production of certain virus species as biopesticides or for recombinant proteins. In the case of proteins, the Spodoptera frugiperda line IPLB-Sf21AE and the Sf-9 clone derived from it have been most frequently used with the baculovirus expression vector derived from Autographa califo...
متن کاملComparative susceptibilities of insect cell lines to infection by the occlusion-body derived phenotype of baculoviruses.
Twelve insect cell lines from six species were tested for susceptibility to baculovirus infection by occlusion-derived virus (ODV) phenotype through the use of a typical endpoint assay procedure. ODV from three nucleopolyhedroviruses were prepared by alkali treatment (sodium carbonate) of occlusion bodies (OBs) and the virus preparations were titered on various cell lines. More than a four-log ...
