dc.description.abstract	Insect viruses play an important role in insect world as well as human. Viral diseases to insects cause tremendous loss in apiculture, silk production and ecosystem balance but benefit the crops when they are applied as biological control agents. Cases from insect viruses including silkworm nucleopolyhedro virus, honey bee CSBV, biological control of insect pest for desert plants by using OrerNPV, find and application of baculo virus to control codling month in China and functional genomics and genetic engineering of HearNPV for better biocontrol are reviewed and discussed in this paper to demonstrate the role of insect virus to human.	en_US
