“…A bootstrap analysis was applied to test the reliability of the tree with 1000 replicates. The genome comparison of SpobMNPV was done with selected alphabaculoviruses [HycuNPV (Ikeda et al., 2006), AcMNPV (Ayres et al., 1994), ChmuNPV (Rohrmann et al., 2014), OpMNPV (Ahrens et al., 1997) and CfMNPV (de Jong et al., 2005)] with whom it was found to have maximum nucleotide and/or amino acid similarity based on preliminary BLAST results. The dataset of these five selected NPVs was subjected to comparative analysis using the shinyCircos platform, which facilitated the visualization of Circos plots (Yu et al., 2018).…”

Spilosoma obliqua nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpobNPV) is known as a biocontrol agent against S. obliqua a polyphagous insect. Genome of an isolate designated as SpobMNPV was sequenced and found to have 136,141 bp, 139 putative open reading frames (ORFs) on both sense (48%) and anti‐sense (52%) strands and 97.91% nucleotide similarity with Hyphantria cunea nucleopolyhedrovirus (HycuNPV). All the 38 core genes of baculoviruses were identified and validated in the SpobMNPV genome, which differed from SpobNPV–Manipur isolate in several aspects. In SpobMNPV genome, 7 h were found comprised of 2 to 16 repeated units of 67‐bp at each site with an imperfect 30‐bp palindrome near the centre in both orientations. Comparison of consensus palindrome sequences (hrcons) present in hrs with that of selected alphabaculovirus group I NPVs revealed them to be completely conserved at each side of the hrcons, that is 1‐GxTTTxC‐7 and 22‐TxGxAAAxC‐30. Based on phylogenetic analysis of 38 core genes, SpobMNPV was found closest to the HycuNPV in the group I alphabaculovirus. The complete genome of this isolate is being reported for the first time from North India. The information on genome analysis of SpobMNPV will be an addition to the available database on alphabaculoviruses and also accelerate research on SpobNPV as a component of integrated management of S. obliqua in many economically important crops.

Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) is a cornerstone of codling moth (Cydia pomonella) control in integrated and organic pome fruit production, though different types of resistance to CpGV products have been recorded in codling moth field populations in Europe for several years. Recently, a novel baculovirus named Cryptophlebia peltastica nucleopolyhedrovirus (CrpeNPV) was isolated from a laboratory culture of the litchi moth, Cryptophlebia peltastica, in South Africa. Along with CpGV, it is the third known baculovirus that is infectious to codling moth. In the present study, parameters of infectiveness of CrpeNPV, such as the median lethal concentration and median survival time, were determined for codling moth larvae susceptible or resistant to CpGV. In addition, the permissiveness of a codling moth cell line with respect to infection by CrpeNPV budded virus was demonstrated by infection and gene expression studies designed to investigate the complete replication cycle. Investigations of the high degree of virulence of CrpeNPV for codling moth larvae and cells are of high significant scientific and economic value and may offer new strategies for the biological control of susceptible and resistant populations of codling moth. IMPORTANCE The emergence of codling moth populations resistant to commercially applied isolates of CpGV is posing an imminent threat to organic pome fruit production. Very few CpGV isolates are left that are able to overcome the reported types of resistance, emphasizing the demand for new and highly virulent baculoviruses. Here we report the recently discovered CrpeNPV as highly infectious to all types of resistant codling moth populations with a high speed of killing, making it a promising candidate baculovirus in fighting the spread of resistant codling moth populations.
