Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the viral <a href="/facts/Glycoprotein/bKPzzW7m">glycoproteins</a> to host receptors, which mediates <a href="/facts/Endocytosis/NJjChLNj">endocytosis</a>. Replication follows the <a href="/facts/DNA_virus/sAHrgFsv">double-stranded DNA</a> bidirectional replication model.

The virus exits the host cell by nuclear pore export and exists in occlusion bodies after cell death, remaining infectious until finding another host. Winged insects, arthropods, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, and Decapoda serve as natural hosts.
