Field Manual of Techniques in Invertebrate Pathology

Abstract

Microbial control agents, including bacteria, fungi, nematodes, protozoa and viruses, provide a more environmentally acceptable form of pest management than chemical insecticides, but require specialist knowledge and conditions for successful use. Among the fifteen or so families of viruses of invertebrates, it is mainly those having virus particles (virions) occluded within a proteinaceous matrix, termed an occlusion body (OB), that have been used successfully in microbial control programs. The Baculoviridae (rod-shaped viruses) are by far the most studied and extensively used of the occluded viruses in management regimes (Granados and Federici, 1986a, b; HunterFujita et al., 1998).
