Development of cell lines from the cactophagous insect: Cactoblastis cactorum (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and their susceptibility to three baculoviruses

Abstract: The unintentional introduction of the cactus moth, Cactoblastis cactorum, a successful biological control agent formerly employed in the control of invasive prickly pear cactus species (Opuntia spp.) in Australia, Hawaii, South Africa, and various Caribbean islands, has posed great concern as to the possible threat to native, endangered species of cactus in the southeastern USA as well as with the potential to cause a major infestation of commercial and agricultural cactus crops in Mexico. A number of control … Show more

“…Another important aspect to consider in basic studies of baculoviruses as well as biological control agents is their potential large-scale, in vitro production, which has been possible since the establishment of the first cell line from pupal tissues of Antheraea eucalypti (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) (Grace 1962), followed by more insect cell lines (Echalier 1971;Goblirsch et al 2013;Grasela et al 2012;Lynn and Hung 1986;Smagghe et al 2009). These include the established IPLB-Sf21 (Sf21) pupal cell line of S. frugiperda (Vaughn et al 1977) and the Sf9, a monoclonal cell line derived from Sf21 (Pasumarthy and Murhammer 1994).…”

“…Most insect cell lines are usually derived from embryos, ovaries, hemocytes, testis, newly hatched larvae (neonate larvae), pupae, fat body, silk glands and epidermis (Mclntosh et al 1983;Su et al 1987;Kolokol'tsova et al 1995;Sudeep et al 2002a, b;Hu et al 2014;Shao et al 2008;Shih et al 1997;Zhang et al 2006Zhang et al , 2014Zheng et al 2010Zheng et al , 2014Ding et al 2013;Goodman et al 2012;Grasela et al 2012;Imanishi et al 2012). These cell lines have become a powerful tool in a wide range of studies, including viral infection and replication, in vitro pathogen propagation, the development of vaccines, molecules of interest for pest management, the production of recombinant proteins, and molecular mechanism of pathogenesis of insect viruses (Sudeep et al 2005).…”
