Building on earlier research, insect cell culture began with the successful establishment of
one cell line from pupal ovarian tissue. The field has grown to the extent that now over 500 …

With ongoing colony losses driven in part by the Varroa mite and the associated
exacerbation of the virus load, there is an urgent need to protect honey bees (Apis mellifera) …

2A is an oligopeptide sequence mediating a ribosome 'skipping'effect, producing an
apparent 'cleavage'of polyproteins. First identified and characterized in picornaviruses,'2A …

Simple Summary Insect cell lines have often been employed in pest management, where
they have been used as tools to evaluate the activity and explore the toxic mechanisms of …

Eleven viral isolates derived mostly in albopictus C6/36 cells from mosquito pools collected
in Southeast Asia and the Americas between 1966 and 2014 contained particles with …

Since the introduction of DDT in the 1940s, arthropod pest control has relied heavily upon
chemical insecticides. However, the development of insect resistance, an increased …

If we use the analogy of a virus as a living entity, then the replicative organelle is the part of
the body where its metabolic and reproductive activities are concentrated. Recent studies …

The 2A region of the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) encodes a short sequence that
mediates self-processing by a novel translational effect. Translation elongation arrest leads …

Introduction Emerging viral diseases, most of which are zoonotic, pose a significant threat to
global health. There is a critical need to identify potential new viral pathogens and the …

The goal of this study was to generate cell lines from a variety of insect tissues that could be
useful for developing in vitro assays with tissue-specific properties. In this article, we …
