“…Unfortunately, studies examining oral infection of adult insects with other non-occluded, enveloped dsDNA viruses do not estimate numbers of virions ingested, so comparisons with similar virus-host systems cannot be made. For instance, dosages administered to Oryctes rhinoceros (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) beetles in oral infection experiments with the Oryctes virus (OrV) have been based on numbers of guts extracted from visually infected beetles rather than measurements of virions per volume (Jackson et al, 2005). A potential barrier against oral infection with MdSGHV may be the peritrophic matrix (PM) (Wang and Granados, 1998), which in M. domestica is a Type II PM consisting of a continuous, tube-like external layer and an internal layer that surrounds the food bolus and fecal pellets (Nayduch et al, 2005).…”

“…Decreased control has been reported from other earlier release sites. Jackson et al (2005) reported considerable genetic variation in the virus that suggests its rapid evolution. They recommended a renewed coordinated effort for the selection and distribution of virulent viral strains.…”

Neotropical Entomology 36(2): 161-179 (2007) Controle Microbiano de Artrópodes-Praga em Fruteiras Tropicais RESUMO -Muitos insetos e ácaros atacam fruteiras nos trópicos. O método tradicional para controlar a maioria dessas pragas é a aplicação de inseticidas químicos. A crescente preocupação sobre os efeitos negativos desses produtos vem encorajando o desenvolvimento de alternativas. Agentes do controle biológico aplicados de forma inundativa ou inoculativa têm sido pesquisados como método de controle alternativo para uma variedade de pragas em grande número de culturas, incluindo fruteiras tropicais. A maioria das pesquisas e aplicações em fruteiras tropicais tem sido feita em citros, insetos. Em banana, o controle do moleque-da-bananeira, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) com nematóides e fungus também é considerado de sucesso. Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) é uma das principais pragas em côco e um dos mais importantes exemplos de controle biológico clássico por vírus não-ocluso. As pragas-chave em manga que têm sido controladas com diferentes agentes de controle microbiano são as moscas-das-frutas (Diptera: Tephritidae), com nematóides e fungos, o gorgulho-da-manga, Sternochetus mangiferae (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), com fungos, e vários hemípteros com fungo. O controle microbiano de a maior aplicabilidade dessas tecnologias é o desenvolvimento de combinações compatíveis entre entomopatógenos, predadores e parasitóides juntamente com outras técnicas de controle. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Bactéria, vírus, fungo, nematóideABSTRACT -A multitude of insects and mites attack fruit crops throughout the tropics. The traditional method for controlling most of these pests is the application of chemical pesticides. Growing concern on the negative environmental effects has encouraged the development of alternatives. Inundatively and inoculatively applied microbial control agents (virus, bacteria, fungi, and entomopathogenic nematodes) have been developed as alternative control methods of a wide variety of arthropods including tropical fruit pests. The majority of the research and applications in tropical fruit agroecosystems has been conducted in citrus, banana, coconut, and mango. Successful microbial control initiatives of citrus pests and mites have been reported. Microbial control of arthropod pests of banana includes banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (with EPNs and fungi) among others Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) is one of the most important pests of coconut and one of the most successful uses of non-occluded virus for classical biological control. Key pests of mango that have fungi), and other pests. Also successful is the microbial control of arthropod pests of guava, papaya and pineapple. The challenge towards a broader application of entomopathogens is the development of successful combinations of entomopathogens, predators, and parasitoids along with other interventions to produce effective and sustainable pest management.

“…The Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus (OrNV), formerly known as the rhinoceros beetle virus or Oryctes baculovirus, was discovered in the 1960s and has been widely used to control rhinoceros beetle (O. rhinoceros) in coconut and oil palm in Southeast Asia and the Pacific (Huger 1966, Jackson et al 2005. It has an enveloped rod-shaped virion and replicates in the nucleus of infected midgut and fat body cells (Huger 1966, Payne 1974, Payne et al 1977.…”
