Densonucleosis provoking plasmids, methods for obtaining them and their use in combating ravaging insects.

摘要

The invention relates to new recombinant plasmids capable of replicating in Escherichia coli, which contain a complete or partial double- or single-stranded DNA sequence of a densovirus causing a densovirosis in a sensitive insect. The invention also relates to the complete sequence of the viral genome of Junonia Densovirus and to the plasmid containing this sequence, designated pBRJ. The invention also relates to the use of these new plasmids in biological control and to insecticidal formulations containing them.
