Summary: | This is the 4th edition of a book that was initiated with the annotation of the function of all the genes in the most commonly studied baculovirus, AcMNPV. As with the previous editions, this information was up-dated and then integrated into chapters covering the major processes central to the replication and pathology of baculoviruses. Topics including taxonomy, genome replication, early and late gene transcription, the application of baculoviruses as insecticides, the molecular basis for the remarkable ability of these viruses to express genes at high levels, and the interrelationships of baculovirus and transposable elements. The 4th edition includes 48 figures and 13 tables, all available for download
