Development of infectious transcripts and genome manipulation of black queen-cell virus of honey bees
Benjeddou, Mongi; Leat, Neil; Allsopp, Mike (Microbiology Society, 2002)The South African isolate of Black queen-cell virus (BQCV), a honey bee virus, was previously found to have an 8550 nucleotide genome excluding the poly(A) tail. Its genome contained two ORFs, a 5«-proximal ORF encoding ... -
Development of molecular tools for honeybee virus research: the South African contribution
Davison, Sean; Leat, Neil; Benjeddou, Mongi (Academic Journals, 2003)Increasing knowledge of the association of honeybee viruses with other honeybee parasites, primarily the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor, and their implication in the mass mortality of honeybee colonies has resulted ... -
Identification, sequence analysis, and phylogeny of the immediate early gene 1 of the trichoplusia ni single nucleocapsid polyhedrosis virus
Wang, Weizhou; Leat, Neil; Fielding, Burtram C.; Davison, Sean (Springer Verlag, 2001)Substantial research has been conducted on the immediate early 1 (ie-1) genes from the prototype baculovirus Autographa californica multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) and the Orgyia pseudotsugata multicapsid ...
