- W2130386137 abstract "SUMMARY Virus diseases have been reported from more than 800 species of insects and mites. Isolates of the baculovirus and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus groups have biological properties which should lead to their successful use as microbial control agents in integrated pest management programmes. These viruses infect the larval stages of many lepidopterous and hymenopterous pests, producing a chronic or lethal infection and the release of large quantities of relatively stable infective inclusion bodies (IBs). The IBs serve as the means by which the viruses are transmitted and persist outside the host. Younger larvae are more susceptible to infection than older stages, and this difference influences the timing of application and doses of virus needed for practical pest control. The high degree of host specificity of many isolates reduces their potential ecological hazard but also limits their use, particularly on crops where a complex of pests is established. Environmental persistence is also a limiting factor as virus is rapidly inactivated by ultra-violet light even when contained within IBs. The viruses persist for longer periods when transmitted within the host population, a feature of virus infections restricted to the insect gut. The practical use of insect viruses in horticulture and agriculture does not utilize their full epizootic potential, but takes advantage of their high pathogenicity and specificity. The baculoviruses of codling moth, and Heliothis spp. provide satisfactory pest control, but for their most cost-effective use it is important to determine the minimum dosage rates of virus required. It is encouraging that studies of the virus control of Pieris spp. have suggested that control achieved by the insecticidal use of a virus can be closely predicted from information on dosage-mortality responses, larval feeding rates and virus persistence. The stability of forest and grassland, and their high economic thresholds makes them ideal candidates for longer-term control. Viruses of the coconut rhinoceros beetle and european spruce sawfly provide examples of classical biological control where the viruses persist for long periods, are efficiently transmitted and act as natural regulators of their hosts. Virus control of pasture, and some forest, pests may be possible by manipulating enzootic viruses without the need for direct control measures. More frequently insecticidal applications are needed, providing control of limited duration which requires periodic ‘topping-up’. Few viruses are commercially-available; their selectivity and often small potential market, may limit industrial interest. However, improvements in virus production, formulation and a better understanding of virus epizootiology should lead to an increasing role for this group of insect pathogens in biological control." @default.
