i5K Comments for Spodoptera exigua
This organism is an important pest insect. It is also used often as a model organism to study interactions between baculoviruses and their caterpillar hosts, as it is easy to rear uner laboratory conditions. There are also several often-used cell lines that are derived from this organism, which aid in understanding the molecular details of baculovirus-host interactions. Spodoptera exigua is an important generalist pest species especially in the tropics. Inga Mewis
