CSP: DNA viruses isolated from insects, arachnids, and crustaceans; has two subfamilies; one isolate is used to study expression vectors; contains two subfamilies Eubaculovirinae (occluded baculoviruses) and Nudibaculovirinae (nonoccluded baculoviruses).,MSH: Family of INSECT VIRUSES containing two subfamilies: Eubaculovirinae (occluded baculoviruses) and Nudibaculovirinae (nonoccluded baculoviruses). The Eubaculovirinae, which contain polyhedron-shaped inclusion bodies, have two genera: NUCLEOPOLYHEDROVIRUS and GRANULOVIRUS. Baculovirus vectors are used for expression of foreign genes in insects.,NCI: A family of double-stranded DNA viruses that replicate in lepidopteran larvae.
