Polydnaviruses(PDVs)are obligatory symbionts of parasitoid wasps and play an important role in suppressing host immune defenses.Although PDV genes that inhibit host melanization are known in Microplitis bracovirus,the...
Polydnaviruses are a group of insect DNA viruses and are characterized in their segmented genome that is located in the chromosome(s) of host wasps. A polydnavirus, Cotesiaplutellae bracovirus (CpBV), encodes a vi...

The development of last instar Helicoverpa armigera prothoracic glands was investigated first; then the effects on the prothoracic glands of Helicoverpa armigera was studied by injection with calyx fluid and polydnavi...
Polydnavirus was purified from the calyx fluid of Cotesia plutellae ovary. The genomic features of C. plutellae polydnavirus (CpPDV) were investigated. The viral genome consists of at least 12 different segments and t...
