Bracoviriform glomeratae refers to Bracovirus, a genus of viruses in the family Polydnaviridae. Bracoviruses are symbiont viruses found in parasitic braconid wasps. They evolved from nudiviruses about 190 million years ago and have been evolving for at least 100 million years, according to Wikipedia.
Here are some key points about Bracovirus:
Bracoviruses live in braconid wasps and help them fight off the immune systems of their hosts, the insect larvae they parasitize.
Bracovirus is one of two genera in the family Polydnaviridae. The other genus is Ichnovirus. Bracovirus and Ichnovirus have evolved separately, and there is no significant sequence similarity between them.
There are 32 species in the genus Bracovirus. Role in Parasitism:
Polydnaviruses, including Bracovirus, play a crucial role in helping parasitic wasps evade the immune systems of their hosts.
