Fig 6.

Baculovirus infection cycle. Several phases of virus replication are illustrated beginning with the rounding of newly infected cells and finishing with the lytic release of OBs. Indicated times are relative to the infection cycle of AcMNPV. The purpose of the figure is to illustrate the progression of phases from BV production to ODV production. Nucleocapsids are initially translocated to the cell membrane for BV production and later become retained in the nuclear ring zone for ODV production. INM is in reference to the inner nuclear membrane (INM) which provides the ODV envelope.
