A Distinct Group II Alphabaculovirus Isolated from a Peridroma Species
نویسندگان
چکیده
The genome sequence of an alphabaculovirus isolated from a Peridroma species indicated that it is a novel member of a group II lineage most closely related to alphabaculoviruses from Spodoptera exigua and Agrotis segetum. It contains a genome of 151,110 nucleotides (nt), with a G+C content of 53.3%.

Some Changes in Gut Bacterial Flora of Field-Grown Peridroma saucia (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) When Brought into the Laboratory.
Removal of Peridroma saucia from the field to the laboratory caused little change in the quantity of facultative and aerobic bacteria in the gut but produced significant qualitative and quantitative changes in distinguishable groups of the family Enterobacteriaceae in the gut.
متن کاملIdentification of the sex pheromone components secreted by female moths of Peridroma saucia (Noctuidae: Noctuinae).
The variegated cutworm, Peridroma saucia Hübner, is a lepidopteran pest to a large number of crops in Canada, the United States, and Europe. It was probably naturalized in Japan in the 1970s. The pheromone glands of the female moth include two components with electroantennographic activity in a ratio of 3:1. GC-MS analyses of pheromone extracts untreated and treated with dimethyl disulfide reve...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of an Alphabaculovirus Isolated from the Oak Looper, Lambdina fiscellaria, Contains a Putative 2-Kilobase-Pair Transposable Element Encoding a Transposase and a FLYWCH Domain-Containing Protein
The genome sequence of an alphabaculovirus isolated from Lambdina fiscellaria indicated that it is a novel member of a group II lineage. A putative transposable element was identified that contained two genes, including a transposase ortholog. These genes were most closely related to genes of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum.

The genome of Buzura suppressaria nucleopolyhedrovirus (BusuNPV) was sequenced by 454 pyrosequencing technology. The size of the genome is 120,420 bp with 36.8% G+C content. It contains 127 hypothetical open reading frames (ORFs) covering 90.7% of the genome and includes the 37 conserved baculovirus core genes, 84 genes found in other baculoviruses, and 6 unique ORFs. No typical baculoviral hom...
متن کاملUnraveling the entry mechanism of baculoviruses and its evolutionary implications.
The entry of baculovirus budded virus into host cells is mediated by two distinct types of envelope fusion proteins (EFPs), GP64 and F protein. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that F proteins were ancestral baculovirus EFPs, whereas GP64 was acquired by progenitor group I alphabaculovirus more recently and may have stimulated the formation of the group I lineage. This study was designed to expe...
