“…Many of the retrieved studies were exploratory, i.e., in the BR or early R&D stages, and only two studies tested non-GM baculovirus isolates in field trials [46,47]. Most of the studies investigated natural isolates of the listed viruses.…”

The release of novel genetically modified (GM) virus applications into the environment for agricultural, veterinary, and nature-conservation purposes poses a number of significant challenges for risk assessors and regulatory authorities. Continuous efforts to scan the horizon for emerging applications are needed to gain an overview of new GM virus applications. In addition, appropriate approaches for risk assessment and management have to be developed. These approaches need to address pertinent challenges, in particular with regard to the environmental release of GM virus applications with a high probability for transmission and spreading, including transboundary movements and a high potential to result in adverse environmental effects. However, the current preparedness at the EU and international level to assess such GM virus application is limited. This study addresses some of the challenges associated with the current situation, firstly, by conducting a horizon scan to identify emerging GM virus applications with relevance for the environment. Secondly, outstanding issues regarding the environmental risk assessment (ERA) of GM virus applications are identified based on an evaluation of case study examples. Specifically, the limited scientific information available for the ERA of some applications and the lack of detailed and appropriate guidance for ERA are discussed. Furthermore, considerations are provided for future work that is needed to establish adequate risk assessment and management approaches.

“…Nuclear polyhedrosis viruses recorded in India includes Helicoverpa armigera, Spodoptera littura, Spodoptera exigua, Amsacta moorei, Agrotis ipsilon, Agrotis segetum, Anadividia peponis, Trichoplusia ni, Thysanoplusia orichalcea, Adisura atkinsoni, Plutella xylostella, Corcyra cephalonica, Mythimna separata and Phthorimaea operculella (Erayya et al, 2013). Field evaluation of Lymantria obfuscata multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus for the management of Indian gypsy moth in Jammu and Kashmir, India were reported (Gupta et al, 2016). Optimization with respect to the host insect, insect diet, insect age, virus dosage, incubation, environment, selection of harvesting time and preservation of virus infectivity consist some of the major factors (Gupta et al, 2007), in maximizing the yield of NPV production in individual larvae (Grazywacz et al, 1998).The combined use of microbial formulations has attained greater option among agricultural community as a successful tool in integrated pest management strategies (Purwar and Sachan, 2006).…”

The various impact of using chemical insecticides in agriculture has been experienced with several facts like contamination of environment; effects in human health and impact in relation to insect pests consist of effect on non target pests, development of insecticide resistance to insect pests, secondary pest's outbreak and resurgence of pest populations. So, development of alternatives to chemical insecticides has been an important action in managing pests for promoting a sustainable agriculture. Microbial biopesticides acts as a solution as they are environmentally safe, self perpetuating in nature, specific to target pests etc. Among the microbial biopesticides, viruses after bacterial and fungal products occupy a special space in managing several pests. NPV forming polyhedra like occlusion bodies kills most important crop pests such as Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera litura. NPV can be implemented as one of major component in IPM programme. So, reduction of application of broad-spectrum pesticides increases the potentiality of implementing NPV in IPM programme and allow to the build-up of natural enemies in crop ecosystem.
