Disease relevance of Ascoviridae

  • The ASCOVIRIDAE: is a family of large double-stranded (ds) DNA insect viruses that contains four species, the Spodoptera frugiperda (SfAV1), Trichoplusia ni (TnAV2), Heliothis virescens (HvAV3) and Diadromus pulchellus (DpAV4) ascoviruses [1].
  • Here we have shown that bro and bro-like (bro-l) genes occur among viruses of two additional invertebrate viral families, Ascoviridae and Iridoviridae, and in prokaryotic class II transposons [2].
 

High impact information on Ascoviridae

  • Phylogenetic position of the Diadromus pulchellus ascovirus DNA polymerase among viruses with large double-stranded DNA genomes [1].
  • The DlEPV helicase is also distinct from that of the Diadromus pulchellus ascovirus 1a from the D. pulchellus parasitic wasp, with less than 10% amino acid identity [3].
