Virus-like particles have been found in specific regions of the reproductive tracts of three different braconid wasps, all parasitoids of the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens. The particles are nuclear in origin, and Feulgen cytochemistry of particulate fluid in the calyx and oviducts of one species has revealed the presence of DNA. On the basis of apparent structural homologies, it is suggested that the parasitoid particles are related to baculoviruses.
在三种不同的茧蜂科黄蜂的生殖道特定区域发现了病毒样颗粒，这三种黄蜂均为烟草天蛾（烟芽夜蛾）的寄生蜂。这些颗粒起源于细胞核，对其中一种黄蜂萼片和输卵管中颗粒状液体进行的福尔根细胞化学分析显示存在DNA。基于明显的结构同源性，有人提出寄生蜂颗粒与杆状病毒有关。
