“…Some baculovirus species appear to be genuinely host specific, such as the NPVs that infect Lymantriidae (Barber et al 1993, Richards et al 1999a. At the other end of the spectrum, cabbage moth, Mamestra brassicae NPV infects species from four families of Lepidoptera (Doyle et al 1990), and the NPV from the alfalfa looper, Autographa californica, (AcMNPV) can infect species within at least 15 families of Lepidoptera (Payne 1986;J.S.

Baculoviruses occur widely among Lepidoptera, and in some species of forest and agricultural insects, they cause epizootics in outbreak populations. Here we review recent developments in baculovirus ecology and evolution, in particular focusing on emerging areas of interest and studies relating to field populations. The expanding application of molecular techniques has started to reveal the structure of baculovirus populations and has highlighted how variable these pathogens are both genotypically and phenotypically at all levels from within individual hosts to among host populations. In addition, the detailed molecular knowledge available for baculoviruses has allowed the interpretation of gene functions across physiological and population levels in a way rarely possible in parasite-host systems and showed the diverse mechanisms that these viruses use to exploit their hosts. Analysis of the dynamic interactions between insects and baculoviruses, and their compatibility for laboratory and field experiments, has formed a basis for studies that have made a significant contribution to unraveling disease interactions in insect populations. In particular, manipulative studies on baculoviruses have been instrumental in developing an understanding of disease transmission dynamics. The results so far indicate that baculoviruses have the potential to be an excellent model for investigations of changes in virulence and resistance in fluctuating and stable host populations.

“…In each step of baculovirus life cycle there is need of long period availability of host and suitable environmental conditions. Generally arthropods serves as hosts of Baculovirus (Doyle et al, 1990;Thiem and Cheng, 2009). Commercially available products of Baculovirus as biological pesticide have been tested on humans and other animals (Hauschild et al, 2011).…”

Pesticides driven from Plants, animals, and microbes such as (bacteria fungi, viruses, algae, nematodes and protozoa are replacing traditional chemical pesticides throughout the world. Bio pesticides reduce environmental risks and are target specific. Bio pesticide promotes sustainable agriculture development by reducing the environmental pollution. Various products have been registered and released, that play important role in the agro-market. Regulation of many insect populations in nature happen by Baculoviruses (entomopathogenic viruses). The pesticide based on baculovirus particles has been formed to control pest and their use is beneficial to reduce the risk of synthetic chemical insecticides. The present status and increase use of baculovirus based bio pesticides as replacement of chemical pesticides, its role in integrated pest management, have been discussed in this review.

“…A few baculovirus species appear to be very host specific (e.g. Barber et al, 1993), but some such as Mamestra brassicae nucleopolyhedrovirus (MbNPV) and the closely related Panolis flammea nucleopolyhedrovirus (PaflNPV) have a relatively wide host range (Doyle et al, 1990). Indeed, it is thought that infection of different insect species plays an important role in the maintenance of genetic diversity within virus populations (Hitchman et al, 2007).…”

Beyond biological control: non‐pest insects and their pathogens in a changing world

Abstract. 1. Over the last few decades, there have been considerable advances in the fields of insect pathology and insect conservation but the two disciplines rarely meet. The potential of entomopathogens as biological control agents of pest insects is widely recognised but information on the role of pathogens in insect population regulation, more generally, is limited. For example, the role of pathogens as natural enemies of non-pest insects, including those of conservation value, is seldom considered beyond their context as 'non-targets' of microbial control agents.2. Entomopathogens are prevalent in natural systems and should receive greater attention in life-history studies. There is no doubt that viruses, bacteria and fungi are major mortality agents of insects but their significance tends to be overshadowed by the attention given to predators and parasitoids.3. We highlight the critical function that entomopathogens could have in insect population dynamics with particular reference fragmented habitats as illustrated by the theoretical literature. However, we emphasise that there are few empirical studies to test theoretical predictions.4. We suggest that since an increase in the incidence of disease is predicted in most environmental change scenarios, it is more important than ever to turn our attention to insect pathology when we consider insect population dynamics.
