also been expressed in baculoviruses or larvae infected with chimeric baculoviruses.
Recombinant baculoviruses expressing scorpion neurotoxins have been developed
(Carbonell et al., 1988; Tomalski and Miller, 1991; Stewart et al., 1991; Bonning and
Hammock, 1996). Venomous toxins produced by scorpions and spiders (Van Rie et al., 1990;

of HaNPV can be improved through genetic engineering.
