The successful infection and replication of MrNV in Sf9 cells should facilitate long-term and in-depth investigation of MrNV infection pathway.
MrNV internalization favors caveolin (CAV)-mediated pathway which can be halted and reactivated by genistein and okadaic acid.
Replication of MrNV (at 72 h p.i.) resulted in cytopathic effects (CPE) and multiplication of virion number in the infected cells.
