Whole genome analysis of a novel Spodoptera exigua nucleopolyhedrovirus isolate (SeMNPV-IR) to Iran.

ABSTRACT: Baculoviruses are successful microbial control agents used in the biological control of agricultural pest species, especially in the order Lepidoptera. The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua is a popular agricultural pest in the world. S exigua larvae, which are active in the all-summer period, cause economic losses by damaging many crops in agricultural production areas. This article aims to analyze the full genome of Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedroviruses from Iran (SeMNPV-IR) and to determine the geographical difference between the strains at the genomic level. The full genome of SeMNPV-IR is 135.764 base pairs in length that contained 136 open reading frames (ORFs), and 43.92% G + C content. The seven homologous repeated (hr) regions were identified.
