Transcriptomic analysis of interactions between Hyphantria cunea larvae and nucleopolyhedrovirus

BACKGROUND Hyphantria cunea is a destructive forest pest. To utilise H. cunea nucleopolyhedrovirus (HcNPV) for biological control, understanding insect‐virus interactions is essential. RESULTS Four cDNA libraries were constructed from H. cunea larvae (two HcNPV‐infected and two uninfected groups) and 76 004 expressed genes were obtained by next‐generation sequencing. Compared with controls, 272 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were...
