Abstract
A method is described for enhancing the efficacy of recombinant insect viruses, such as baculoviruses and granulosis viruses, for use as insecticides. This invention relates to recombinant insect viruses and vectors for use therewith in which the expression of a heterologous gene or fragments thereof (preferably encoding an insect controlling substance or modifying substance, such as an insect toxin) is operably linked to an early promoter.
