| susceptibility of north-american and european crickets to acheta domesticus densovirus (addnv) and associated epizootics. | the european house cricket, acheta domesticus l., is highly susceptible to a. domesticus densovirus (addnv). commercial rearings of crickets in europe are frequently decimated by this pathogen. mortality was predominant in the last larval stage and young adults. infected a. domesticus were smaller, less active, did not jump as high, and the adult females seldom lived more than 10-14 days. the most obvious pathological change was the completely empty digestive caecae. infected tissues included ad ... | 2010 | 21167171 |
| the addnv densovirus of the european house cricket, acheta domesticus, evolved a unique expression strategy among parvoviruses. | the acheta domesticus densonucleosis virus (addnv), isolated from crickets, has been endemic in europe for at least 35 years. severe epizootics have also been observed since 2009/2010 in american commercial rearings. the addnv genome was cloned and sequenced. the transcription map showed that splicing occurred both in the nonstructural (ns) and in the capsid protein (vp) multicistronic rnas. the splicing pattern of ns mrna predicted 3 nonstructural proteins (ns1, 576 codons; ns2, 286 codons: ns3 ... | 2011 | 21775445 |
