| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Baculoviridae is a large family of pathogens that are infectious for arthropods, particularly insects of the Lepidoptera. Baculoviruses are known to potentially encode >100 proteins, some of which are utilized to control host physiology at cellular and/or organismal levels. Lepidopteran baculoviruses show distinct tissue tropism in host insect larvae, but the molecular mechanisms of this tropism and its relationship to viral control of host caterpillars are largely unknown. In this study, I attempted to identify the genes involved in baculovirus tissue tropism and to clarify their roles in baculoviral host control.
