bac·u·lo·vi·rus

(bak'yū-lō-vī'rŭs),
A virus that infects insect cells; used extensively in expression systems for recombinant proteins that require eukaryotic processing systems.
[L. baculum, rod, + virus]

baculovirus

(băk″ū-lō-vī′rŭs) [L. baculum, staff, walking stick + ″]
A double-stranded DNA virus that infects insects. It has been used experimentally in recombinant DNA technology, e.g., in manufacturing vaccines.

baculovirus

group of rod-shaped, double-stranded, DNA viruses which infect and kill a large number of different invertebrate species especially insects, including Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, Neuroplera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera and Homoptera, and also prawns; used as biocontrol agents, sometimes following genetic engineering of the virus.
