Abstract:
Antheraea mylitta cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (AmCPV) is the most widespread pathogen of
Indian non-mulberry silkworm Antheraea mylitta. The genome segments 1 (S1), 3 (S3), 8 (S8)
and 11 (S11) were converted to cDNA, cloned and sequenced. S1 (3852 nucleotides), S3 (3784
nucleotides) and S8 (1677 nucleotides) showed ORFs of 1245, 1210 and 528 amino acids
residues, respectively, and could encode proteins of approximate molecular weight of 141 kDa
(p141), 137 kDa (p137) and 60 kDa (p60), respectively.
