Genomic analyses of Biston suppressaria nucleopolyhedrovirus: a viral isolate obtained from the tea looper caterpillar, Biston suppressaria (Guenee, 1857).

ABSTRACT: We described the complete genome sequence of a novel baculovirus isolate of species Buzura suppressaria nucleopolyhedrovirus, called by isolate CNPSo-25. The occlusion bodies were found to be polyhedral in shape and to contain virions with singly embedded nucleocapsids. The size of the genome is 121,377 bp with a G+C content of 36.7%. We annotated 131 ORFs that cover 90.42% of the genome. Moreover, phylogenetic inference indicated that CNPSo-25 is a member of genus Alphabaculovirus that clustered together with two other Chinese isolates of the same species. We called the virus by Biston suppressaria nucleopolyhedrovirus isolate CNPSo-25 (BisuNPV-CNPSo-25), as Buzura was placed inside the lepidopteran genus Biston. As expected, we detected intra-population variability in the virus sample wh
