What Does CPV Stand For?
CPV stands for Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus
Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus (CPV) is a member of the family Baculoviridae, primarily infecting insects, particularly lepidopterans. It is characterized by the formation of polyhedral inclusion bodies within the cytoplasm of infected cells. CPV plays a significant role in entomology and virology research, serving as a model for studying viral replication, pathogenesis, and insect ecology. Additionally, CPV's unique properties have led to its exploration in biocontrol applications for pest management in agriculture.
