Hitching a Ride: Examining the Ability of a Specialist Baculovirus to Translocate through Its Insect Host’s Food Plant

Plant vascular systems can translocate the entomopathogen <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> from the soil into plant tissues. However, whether other soil dwelling entomopathogens utilize plant vascular tissue for movement has not yet been fully explored. We used <i>Spodoptera frugiperd...
