title: A simple method for the extraction of baculovirus DNA.
abstract: We have developed a method using lysozyme for DNA extraction from Baculoviruses using as a model Lymantria dispar nuclear polyhedrosis virus (LdNPV) obtained from infected larvae. This method proved to be quick, inexpensive and the extracted DNA was successfully used in molecular hybridization experiments.
