Fig 3.

The ODV phenotype. The illustration on the left side represents a dissected view of the structure of the ODV. The DNA genome is shown expanding from the nucleocapsid to emphasize the presence of one viral genome in each nucleocapsid. This illustration is done in the context of an MNPV ODV. In the background and expanded into the center are representations of the insect midgut epithelium. The ODV‐specific processes of attachment and viral envelope fusion with membranes of the brush border microvilli are shown. Expanded on the right hand side is resulting the release of ODV‐nucleocapsids which are translocated up the microvillus into the midgut cell.
