Viruses have the same problems to solve whether they are HIV or insect viruses,
2.
Similarly to humans, insect viruses have evolved mechanisms to avoid the RNAi pathway.
3.
Baculoviruses are parasite double-stranded DNA insect viruses that are used mostly as biological control agents.
4.
Polydnaviruses are a unique group of insect viruses that have a mutualistic relationship with some parasitic wasps.
5.
WH2 proteins occur in eukaryotes from yeast to mammals, in insect viruses, and in some bacteria.
6.
Insect viruses have long been valued as biological control agents, since they have few negative effects on ecosystems compared with chemical pesticides.
7.
Even in the fully mature larvae, HpNPV can kill in 60 72 hours, making it one of the fastest acting insect viruses.
8.
The company's goal was to use gene-splicing techniques and insect viruses to manufacture natural proteins that help prevent and treat human diseases.
9.
Scientists at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, for instance, are experimenting with insect viruses that kill boll weevils by arresting their development from larvae into adults.
10.
To get the altered gene back into silkworms, the scientists used an insect virus as a carrier, swapping out a gene in the virus with the modified gene.
