INSECTICID COMPOSITION CONTAINING RECOMBINANT BACULOVIRUS, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE ACTIVE INGRADIENT AND THE ACTIVE INGRADIENT

摘要

The present invention relates to insecticidal compositions comprising an inert herbicide or diluent and a recombinant poxvirus in an effective killing amount capable of exerting an insecticide containing an insecticidal toxin or a prodrug thereof in a virus-infected rodent. is secreted from the toxin-producing cells, in particular atoxin or a derivative thereof is linked to a signal peptide that secures the secretion of the toxin or its derivative from arterial cells, and the poxvirus contains a functional polylhydrin gene. The invention further relates to the production of recombinant poxvirus and to recombinant poxvirus itself. ŕ
