BACKGROUND
Rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) is a serious
insect pest of coconut and oil palm. Outbreaks of the
pest are often due to an abundance of breeding sites after
plantation clearance during the early period of
replanting of the palm. Integrated pest management
(IPM) has been developed to suppress the beetle
population and O. rhinoceros Nudivirus (OrNV) has
been shown to be an important component of IPM for
O. rhinoceros. The OrNV was first discovered from
diseased larvae of rhinoceros beetle in Malaysia. It was
later introduced in the coconut growing countries in South
Pacific islands and Indian Ocean regions. The successful introduction of OrNV in the regions led to its use and
re-release in Malaysia.
Since the first discovery of the OrNV, numerous studies
have been conducted in which have generated important
new information and technologies. These included the
classification of the OrNV based on genomic analysis,
production of OrNV using insect cell line DSIR-HA-1176
technology and the use of molecular approaches in
identification, detection and monitoring the impact of the
released virus in the field.
