The Bombyx mori latent virus (BmLV) belongs to the unassigned plant virus family Tymoviridae and contains a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome. BmLV has infected almost all B. mori-derived cultured cell lines through unknown routes. The source of BmLV infection and the BmLV life cycle are still unknown. Here, we examined the interaction between BmLV and the insect DNA virus Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV). Persistent infection with BmLV caused a slight delay in BmNPV propagation, and BmLV propagation was enhanced in B. mori larvae via co-infection with BmNPV. We also showed that BmLV infectious virions were co-occluded with BmNPV virions into BmNPV occlusion bodies. We propose a new relationship between BmLV and BmNPV.

Bombyx morinucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a typical species ofBaculoviridae. The complete genome sequence of a BmNPV strain with cubic occlusion bodies is reported here. The genome of this strain consists of 127,465 nucleotides with a G+C content of 40.36% and is 97.3% and 97.5% identical to those of BmNPV strain T3 andBombyx mandarinaNPV S1, respectively. Despite the abnormal polyhedra it forms, thepolyhedringene of the BmNPV cubic strain is 100% identical to those of the other two strains. Baculovirus repeated ORFs and homologous repeat regions cause the major differences in genome size of these BmNPV isolates.
