Transmission electron micrographs of Trichoplusia ni single nucleopolyhedrovirus occlusion bodies containing occlusion-derived virus consisting of multiple and single nucleocapsids per envelope. Scale bar: 0.5 μm. Alphabaculovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Baculoviridae. The natural hosts of species in this family are invertebrates, among them winged insects (Lepidopterans, Hymenopterans, Dipterans), and decapods. However, species in this genus have been isolated only from the insect order Lepidoptera. T

Transmission electron micrographs of Trichoplusia ni single nucleopolyhedrovirus occlusion bodies containing occlusion-derived virus consisting of multiple and single nucleocapsids per envelope. Scale bar: 0.5 μm. Alphabaculovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Baculoviridae. The natural hosts of species in this family are invertebrates, among them winged insects (Lepidopterans, Hymenopterans, Dipterans), and decapods. However, species in this genus have been isolated only from the insect order Lepidoptera. There are 71 species in the genus.
==Structure== Viruses in Alphabaculovirus are enveloped, with circular genomes around 80–180 kbp in length. The genome codes for 100 to 180 proteins.
