Due to their widespread natural occurrence, baculoviruses and their insect hosts are a convenient model to study the pathogen-host interactions. However, the absence of reliable techniques for the detection of latent viral infection, which is common in insect populations, is among the constraints of such studies. The recent progress in molecular biology techniques made it possible to obtain the fundamental data on the detection of latent viruses in different insect species as well as on the mechanism of latent infection induction, which are reviewed below. The obtained data in many respects expand our knowledge about the role of latency in the system of interactions between baculoviruses and their insect hosts at different ecological levels.
由于杆状病毒及其昆虫宿主在自然界广泛存在，它们是研究病原体与宿主相互作用的便捷模型。然而，缺乏可靠的技术来检测昆虫种群中常见的潜伏病毒感染，这是此类研究的限制因素之一。分子生物学技术的最新进展使得获取关于不同昆虫物种中潜伏病毒检测以及潜伏感染诱导机制的基础数据成为可能，以下将对此进行综述。所获得的数据在许多方面扩展了我们对潜伏性在杆状病毒及其昆虫宿主在不同生态水平相互作用系统中作用的认识。
