MeSH definition : Family of INSECT VIRUSES containing two subfamilies: Eubaculovirinae (occluded baculoviruses)
and Nudibaculovirinae (nonoccluded baculoviruses). The Eubaculovirinae, which contain
polyhedron-shaped inclusion bodies, have two genera: NUCLEOPOLYHEDROVIRUS and GRANULOVIRUS.
Baculovirus vectors are used for expression of foreign genes in insects.; Family of INSECT VIRUSES which contain polyhedron-shaped or ovocylindrical occlusion
bodies. The genera include ALPHABACULOVIRUS; GAMMABACULOVIRUS; and DELTABACULOVIRUS
(commonly known as NUCLEOPOLYHEDROVIRUSES) and BETABACULOVIRUS (commonly known as
GRANULOVIRUSES). Baculovirus vectors are used for expression of foreign genes in insects
and as BIOPESTICIDES for controlling insect populations.;
