Abstract
We report here the complete genomic sequence of Polish alphabaculovirus isolated from dead gypsy moth caterpillars. Its genome structure and G+C content indicate that it is a Lymantria dispar multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (LdMNPV) strain which possesses the shortest sequence among eight other (similar to reference sequence AF081810) LdMNPV sequences available in GenBank; it is 159,729 bp long.

An alphabaculovirus presented in this report was isolated from dead gypsy moth caterpillars found in 2004 in Rudy Raciborskie, Silesia, Poland
Its complete genome is the ninth isolate of Lymantria dispar multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (LdMNPV) species deposited in the GenBank database
Summary
We report here the complete genomic sequence of Polish alphabaculovirus isolated from dead gypsy moth caterpillars. The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L., is one of the species that causes economic damage to forests and orchards. Outbreaks of gypsy moths have been observed in different parts of the world, mainly in North America. An alphabaculovirus presented in this report was isolated from dead gypsy moth caterpillars found in 2004 in Rudy Raciborskie, Silesia, Poland. Its complete genome is the ninth isolate of LdMNPV species deposited in the GenBank database.
