BV/ODV-E26 is a conserved baculoviral inhibitory factor for optimizing viral virulence in lepidopteran hosts by Hiroyuki Hikida, Ryuhei Kokusho, Susumu Katsuma

“…Furthermore, locomotory analyses revealed that bv/odv-e26 increased larval locomotory activity but had little effect on the timing of abnormal behavior initiation. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that bv/odv-e26 is a baculoviral inhibitory factor that is widely conserved in the genus alphabaculovirus and may reduce viral virulence for successful host behavioral manipulation.…”
