A new iridovirus, herein named isopod iridescent virus (IIV), was isolated from two species of terrestrial isopods in Berkeley, Calif. Infected individuals of Armadillidium vulgare and Porcellio scaber (Crustacea:Isopoda) appeared purple in color; in thin sections, hemocytes, nerve cells, and fat body cells contained cytoplasmic aggregations of virions. Isolated particles, 135 nm in diameter in negative stain, contained DNA had included at least 19 polypeptide components. The virus was transmitted per os and by injection to healthy isopods, and by injection to larvae of a coleopteran. IIV from the isopod hosts differed from Tipula iridescent virus (TIV) in buoyant density, molecular weights of major polypeptides, and serological reactions with antisera to IIV and TIV.
一种新的虹彩病毒，在此命名为等足目虹彩病毒（IIV），是从加利福尼亚州伯克利的两种陆生等足目动物中分离出来的。普通鼠妇和鼠妇（甲壳纲：等足目）的受感染个体呈现紫色；在薄片中，血细胞、神经细胞和脂肪体细胞含有病毒粒子的细胞质聚集体。在负染中直径为135 nm的分离颗粒含有DNA，已鉴定出至少19种多肽成分。该病毒通过口服和注射传播给健康的等足目动物，并通过注射传播给一种鞘翅目幼虫。来自等足目宿主的IIV在浮力密度、主要多肽的分子量以及与IIV和TIV抗血清的血清学反应方面与大蚊虹彩病毒（TIV）不同。
