Baculovirus thermal stability

Scientific support, literature review and data collection and analysis for risk assessment on microbial organisms used as active substance in plant protection products –Lot 1 Environmental Risk characterisation

“…The optimal temperature for granulovirus multiplication is 24°C; however, studies have shown that temperature has minor direct effects on the number of granulovirus during an infection (Sporleder et al, 2008). Baculovirus also have a good thermal stability (Ribeiro et al, 1994).…”
