Over the last decade, advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies have
revolutionised biological research, making it possible for DNA/RNA sequencing of any …

Background In the present study, detection, characterization and virulence analysis of a field
collected nucleopolyhedrovirus isolated from the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis …

In this study, we undertook a survey to analyze the distribution and frequency of
microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) in Spodoptera littoralis multiple …

Abstract Two different Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.)(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpliNPV) isolates were obtained from natural infected S. littoralis …

BACKGROUND The general principle of using microbes from one species to manage a
different pest species has a clear precedent in the large‐scale release of mosquitoes …

The fall armyworm, known as Spodoptera frugiperda, is a notorious invasive pest wreaking
havoc on agricultural crops globally. In the course of this study, a novel variant of the S. litura …

Abstract Background The baculovirus Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpliNPV)
is an entomopathogenic virus utilized as a biological control agent of the Egyptian cotton …

Background Normalization with respect to stable housekeeping genes is important to
facilitate gene transcription regulation research and acquire more accurate quantitative …

Spodoptera litura is an emerging insect pest in a wide range of crops worldwide. The insect
is difficult to control because of resistance development to synthetic insecticides and …

One of the most important factor that affects the efficient using of baculoviruses as a
biopesticide is their sensitivity to UV irradiation. In this study, a photolyase gene (phr) of 1.4 …
