Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus

Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) is a nucleopolyhedrovirus belonging to the family Baculoviridae.[1] It has a double-stranded DNA genome that is 133,894 base pairs in length with 155 ORFs.[2] The virus forms occluded bodies called polyhedra each containing multiple virions. AcMNPV has been shown to infect more than thirty lepidopteran hosts from 10 families.[3]
