A virus was found in the ovarial calyx tissue of Mesoleius tenthredinis, an ichneumonid parasitoid; the "infection" was present in all females thus far examined. Virions were morphologically similar to typical baculoviruses. Apparent uncoating of viral nucleocapsids at nuclear pores was observed, indicating the reinfection of the calyx epithelium may occur. Electron microscopy of DNA extracted from calyx tissue suggests that the viral genome may be circular, and of high molecular weight.
在一种姬蜂科寄生蜂——十斑大痣小蜂的卵巢萼组织中发现了一种病毒;到目前为止,在所有检测的雌蜂中均存在这种“感染”情况。病毒粒子在形态上与典型的杆状病毒相似。在核孔处观察到病毒核衣壳明显的脱壳现象,这表明萼上皮可能会再次被感染。从萼组织中提取的DNA的电子显微镜观察结果表明,病毒基因组可能是环状的,且分子量较大。
