Abstract

Insect viruses can be exploited for the biological control of insect pests and serve as well as vehicles for the introduction of 'foreign genes' into insect cells and insects. The present work describes some of the molecular events that take place during the replication of the Galleria mellonella densonucleosis virus in the insect host. Viral RNA and protein synthesis were monitored. An understanding of the virus biology is essential for further implementation of these viruses for biological control purposes.
