Zombie Virus Takes Over and Liquifies Caterpillars

Baculovirus. There’s a scary word. And it should be. A specific species of baculovirus hypnotizes its victims and causes them to climb up a tree where they will stay until impending doom. Liquefaction.

Luckily the only animals who have to fear the dreaded baculovirus are invertebrates — so you’re safe. This species of baculovirus in particular only affects gypsy moth caterpillars are common prey.

As reported by National Geographic, Kelli Hoover, an entomologist at Penn State University and co-author of a recent study that identified the gene that helps turn the prey into goo, said gypsy moth caterpillars generally go up into trees at night to feed on leaves but come back down during the day to hide. National Geographic has more on the ‘zombie’ virus:

“When they are infected, as they get sicker they stay up in the trees and die up there,” Hoover explained.

The virus “ends up using just about all of the caterpillar to make more virus, and there are other genes in the virus that then make the caterpillar melt. So it becomes a pool of millions of virus particles that end up dropping onto the foliage below where it can infect other moths that eat those leaves.”

At this point, you may now start feeling sorry for the the gypsy moth — common prey of many baculoviruses — don’t. Gypsy moths are introduced to the United States by a French researcher in 1868. Since then they’ve been wreaking havoc on hardwood trees in the eastern United States.

Scientists recently were able to identify the gene — called egt — that allowed the virus to take over the caterpillars neurologically, turning them into zombies:

Researchers removed egt from some viruses, reinfected the caterpillars, and found that the zombie behavior stopped. When the team inserted the gene into a virus that previously lacked it, the zombie behavior returned.

“Somehow or other, using this gene, the virus is able to manipulate the behavior of the caterpillar to go to the right location in the tree to enhance transmission to new hosts. It’s really amazing,” Hoover said.

The gene may work by deactivating its hosts’ molting hormone, according to the study, published tomorrow in the journal Science.

“That would be an advantage to the virus because it keeps the insect in a feeding state, so that they get bigger and bigger and make more and more virus.”

Live Science reports that some forestry services have used the virus to help control the population of gypsy moth caterpillars. Even Hoover had a tree infected with the moths in her backyard at one point.

    This is yet another article (by the same author that does not know the difference between allusion and illusion or pole and poll that exemplifies poor writing.

    “Gypsy moths are introduced to the United States by a French researcher in 1868.” Really? That French researcher is still introducing moths to the the US since 1868? Who cares about what that researcher is doing! Find out how he’s lived so long!

    Besides such glaring errors, there are also many punctuation errors which might be considered “old fashioned” these days because so few people know how to properly punctuate a sentence. For example, “Luckily the only animals who have to fear the dreaded baculovirus are invertebrates….” That should be: “Luckily, the only….”

      I have noticed this type of behavoir in worms in the last 15 years around our area. When the gypsy moths infested our area the 1st year about killed our oaks the very next year we noticed liquified worms hanging from the trees and it was explained to be the BT they were using, but they were using a bacteria and what they are saying is this is a virus which makes sense since we are in an area where having trees is esthetically pleasing so they never sprayed BT in our area. The worms reaction to the virus is classic natural selection where the virus that causes the worm to climb up a tree is the one that survives to drop on other leaves to infect another worm. The virus that caused the worms to climb down died out as did the one that caused the worm to cling to the trunk before it died.

      Another thing as I understand the gypsy moth, where the insect specialist states that the gypsy moth comes down the tree during the day and climbs up at night, is not so the gypsy moth worms are clumsy they fall out of the tree and climb back up continuosly. We could stop them day and night by applying a sticky barrier and the worms would always pile up underneath the barrier never on top of the barrier.

      Gypsies don‘t eat clothing and don’t generally fly around lights. They are a specialized group that feeds exclusively on trees, usually maples and oaks, but will chew on many others. The caterpillar in the pic is not a gypsy moth; it looks more like a Monarch butterfly. Gypsy caterpillars are dark brown with a line of little blue spots down both sides, and are fuzzy. They only get about 1.5 inches long. The adults (correct in the 2nd pic) only live a couple of weeks. The brown females don’t fly much, but stay on tree trunks. The white males fly from tree to tree. The egg case is an oval, rounded mound, about an inch long, that looks like tan felt, usually left on the branches and trunks of trees, or in crevices in rocks. During a bad infestation, you can hear the bits of leaves they drop falling like rain, the incessant chewing noise, and there is a constant traffic of caterpillars up and down the trunks of the trees. It’s absolutely horrible.

      Quiltgal, I noticed that as well–a big miss. The photo of the “Live gypsy moth caterpillar” is a monarch butterfly caterpillar. Questions: Is that what the infected gypsy moth caterpillars look like when they are “liquified”? Does this virus infect monarch caterpillars as well?

      Since the mid-70s I have often gathered monarch caterpillars and milkweed and have enjoyed watching the fascinating pupating process. What concerns me is that I have observed this shriveling phenomenon (shown in the Michael Grove photo) in monarch caterpillars since the mid-70s. I have not been able to identify any differences in behavior of affected caterpillars as they grew. In fact, I would always be surprised at the caterpillars that died just before just beginning the process of metamorphosis.

      The affected caterpillars have the same voracious appetite; the same tendency to seek for the perfect place to hunker down and pupate…no apparent differences until they shrivel and die. And it appears to be a sudden occurrence rather than a gradual one.

      Note that I have never witnessed a monarch caterpillar die in the process, but have only come in to find their bodies–hanging suspended from their silk button–long, shriveled and often dripping ooze. What is fascinating is that I have observed one in process, having just shed its skin, wriggling and attempting to place its “stem” in the silk button–then fall to the ground and splat, with no solid matter inside whatever. Only green liquid.

      Just make a large tinfoil hat to cover your entire garden and you will be fine. Your large hat will surely match some of the tinfoil cones adorning the heads of certain posters here who are now obviously GMO “experts” because they watched the films Food, Inc and King Corn more than once.

      Monsanto baaaaaaaaaad, heirloom gooooooood….Govt. farm subsidies baaaaaaaaaaad, farming wall to wall so prices fall and farms fail gooooooooooood… if only the solutions were as simple as some of the ideologies that get dumped here.

      By polls showing an extremely high disapproval of congress I thinks its more than the “libs”. All seats up for re-election, regardless of affiliation are endanger of “liquifying” .

      I read a news story that they can now liquify your body when you die. Flush your butt right down the toilet. Or maybe freeze you onto popcycle sticks like soylet green.

      So if it’s scary, you can’t report it? When did every story that doesn’t make us feel good become a conspiracy?
