To obtain a blood meal, midges deposit saliva containing allergens, proteases, and anti-hemostatic factors, into the dermis to facilitate feeding. Infected midges...
Autographa californica M nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) open reading frame 109 (ac109) is conserved in all known baculovirus genomes, suggesting a crucial role in virus replication. Although viruses lacking ac109 have been previously characterized, the phenotypes differ from production of non-infectious virions to lack of virion production. To re-examine ac109 function, we constructed a recombinant...
