EVALUATING THE RISKS OF ENGINEERED VIRUSES: MODELING PATHOGEN COMPETITION
Abstract
Recently there has been a great deal of interest in the potential use of genetically engineered baculoviruses as environmentally benign insecticides. Because baculoviruses often have a significant impact on the population dynamics of their hosts, any effort to assess the environmental impact of releasing engineered viruses must confront the question: Will genetically engineered baculoviruses outcompete wild‐type strains, thereby altering the …
