An Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) baculovirus inoculum derived from tissue culture
Journal of Economic Entomology 77 (6), 1610-1611
Abstract: Large quantities of Oryctes baculovirus can be obtained from aseptic cell culture fluids using a recently established cell line derived from the scarab, Heteronychus arator (F.). Studies of thermal inactivation of the virus showed that it is extremely stable at 4°C and that at 28°C its stability is sufficient for extended field use.
