Abstract

It is noted that baculoviruses and their insect hosts are convenient objects for studying relationships in the pathogen–host system. It has been established that interest in viruses of this family is associated with their use as molecular vectors for introducing and expressing foreign genes in insects and cell cultures. It has been noted that, in recent decades, using a number of molecular biology methods, a whole series of fundamental data has been obtained on the diagnosis of hidden viruses in insects and evidence of their vertical transmission. Information is provided on the role of vertical transmission in the system of relationships between baculoviruses and their insect hosts at various ecological levels.
