Virus IPLB-Ek-x4T IPLB-Ek-x4V Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus +++ +++ Anagrapha falcifera nucleopolyhedrovirus +++ +++ Anticarsa gemmatalis nucleopolyhedrovirus + + Galleria mellonella nucleopolyhedrovirus +++ +++ Heliothis armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus +++ +++ Heliothis virescens nucleopolyhedrovirus +++ +++ Helicoverpa zea nucleopolyhedrovirus – – Lymantria dispar nucleopolyhedrovirus – – Plutella xylostella nucleopolyhedrovirus +++ +++ Rachoplusia ou nucleopolyhedrovirus +++ +++

+ Complete replication with the formation of occlusion bodies in <20% of cells by 1–week post infection. +++ Complete replication with the formation of occlusion bodies in >80% of cells by 1–week post infection. – No apparent infection by visual inspection with phase contrast or Hoffman modulation contrast microscopy.
