Urastoma cyprinae is a turbellarian parasite infecting the gills of several marine bivalves. We observed the presence of virus-like particles (24 to 30 nm in diameter; icosahedral symmetry) arranged in paracrystalline arrays in the cytoplasm of subepidermal dorsal cells. These particles appear to be RNA viruses, possibly related to the Picornaviridae. This is the first report of viral particles in the parasite U. cyprinae.
塞氏尾涡虫是一种感染多种海洋双壳贝类鳃部的涡虫寄生虫。我们观察到在表皮下背侧细胞的细胞质中存在呈准晶体排列的病毒样颗粒（直径24至30纳米；二十面体对称）。这些颗粒似乎是RNA病毒，可能与小核糖核酸病毒科有关。这是关于塞氏尾涡虫寄生虫中病毒颗粒的首次报道。
