Alphabaculovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Baculoviridae.[1] The natural hosts of species in this family are invertebrates, among them winged insects (Lepidopterans, Hymenopterans, Dipterans), and decapods. However, species in this genus have been isolated only from the insect order Lepidoptera.[2] There are 56 species in the genus.[3][4][5]
