Insect Viruses Biotechnological Applications

Baculoviruses are perhaps unique among viruses in the breadth of their biotechnological applications: these insect specific viruses are used not only for insect pest management purposes, but also as laboratory research tools for production of recombinant proteins and for protein display, and as potential vectors for human gene therapy. In addition to highlighting recent advances, this volume provides a comprehensive review of the biotechnological applications of these and other insect viruses in both the academic and private sectors.Maramorosch, Karl is the author of 'Insect Viruses Biotechnological Applications', published 2006 under ISBN 9780120398683 and ISBN 0120398680.
