Abstract
Baculoviruses are insect-specific viruses with a circular
double-stranded DNA genome ranging in size from
80–180 kb (Lu et al., 2012). Two distinct types of virions
have been identified during the infectious cycle of
baculoviruses, namely budded virions (BVs) and occlusion-
derived virions (ODVs). BVs mediate infection
from cell to cell, while ODVs initiate oral infection in
the insect midgut (Braunagel and Summers, 2007).
