Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) is a granulovirus belonging to the family Baculoviridae.[1] It has a double-stranded DNA genome that is approximately 123,500 base pairs in length with 143 ORFs.[2] The virus forms small bodies called granules containing a single virion. CpGV is a virus of invertebrates – specifically Cydia pomonella, commonly known as the Codling moth.[3] CpGV is highly pathogenic, it is known as a fast GV – that is, one that will kill its host in the same instar as infection; thus, it is frequently used as a biological pesticide.
