Abstract
A recombinant baculovirus for use as an insect control agent having a genome which comprises a polyhedrin gene and a heterologous gene, which expresses an insecticidal protein, wherein the polyhedrin gene and the heterologous gene are not under the control of the same promoter, and are located on the genome such that viral progeny produced by a recombination event with wild-type baculovirus which are viable do not retain expression of both the polyhedrin gene and the heterologous gene.
