    Arch Insect Biochem Physiol 69:127-42. 2008
    ..Thus, even though prophenoloxidase subunits are constitutively expressed at high levels in larval H. virescens hemocytes and fat bodies, the subunit HvPPO-1 is differentially regulated by bacterial and baculoviral infection...
  2. ncbi Analysis of ESTs generated from immune-stimulated hemocytes of larval Heliothis virescens
    Kent S Shelby
    USDA, Columbia, MO 65203, USA
    J Invertebr Pathol 101:86-95. 2009
    ..The ESTs reported here are the first large scale report of the H. virescens immunome responding to entomopathogens, and represent a first step to a more complete transcriptome for this pest moth...

    Holly J R Popham
    USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Biological Control of Insects Research Laboratory, 1503 S Providence Rd, Columbia, MO 65203, USA
    Biol Trace Elem Res 148:356-62. 2012
    ..In both studies, hemolymph Fe levels were higher in HzSNPV infected larvae. This first study of tissue Fe levels during viral infection of an insect clearly demonstrates that Fe homeostasis is substantially disrupted...
  4. ncbi Baculovirus induced transcripts in hemocytes from the larvae of Heliothis virescens
    Jonathan E Breitenbach
    Biological Control of Insects Research Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, USDA, Columbia, MO 65203, USA

    USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Biological Control of Insects Research Laboratory, Columbia, MO 65203, USA
    J Insect Sci 6:1-12. 2006
    ..Our results confirm that phenoloxidase is the predominate activity in larval plasma accounting for inactivation of HzSNPV in vitro, and that phenoloxidase-dependent H(2)O(2) production may contribute to this virucidal activity...

    USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Biological Control of Insects Research Laboratory, Columbia, MO 65203, USA
    J Invertebr Pathol 95:77-83. 2007
    ..Our results suggest that dietary Se levels are directly correlated with plasma Se levels, and that plasma Se levels are in turn correlated with baculovirus resistance...
