Baculoviruses are a large and diverse group of viruses that infect insects, particularly insects with exoskeletons. They are rod-shaped viruses with a long, narrow capsid and a large, symmetrical genome. Baculoviruses are part of the Baculoviridae family, which is divided into several genera.
The life cycle of a baculovirus typically begins with penetration of the host insect's cell membrane. Once
Baculoviruses are of particular interest to scientists due to their unique life cycle and the way they
Baculoviruses have also been used as vectors for delivering genes into insect cells. This process is known
Overall, baculoviruses are complex and fascinating viruses that continue to be the subject of scientific study.
