Baculovirus DNA replication and processing

In this report, factors involved in baculovirus DNA replication are reviewed. These include factors that are required for DNA synthesis, other factors that have been implicated in genome processing or packaging, and homologs of proteins that are involved in DNA replication or repair in other systems. Conservation of a number of these factors in all baculovirus genomes suggest that many of the observations for specific viral systems may apply to the most if not all members of the Baculoviridae.
