THE MACROMOLECULAR PARACRYSTALLINE LATTICE OF INSECT VIRAL POLYHEDRAL BODIES DEMONSTRATED IN ULTRATHIN SECTIONS EXAMINED IN THE ELECTRON MICROSCOPE

Thin sections of polyhedra obtained from gipsy moth larvae infected with P. dispar virus and from silkworm larvae infected with B. mori virus revealed viral particles contained within a pseudohexagonal, macromolecular, paracrystalline lattice. The gipsy moth virus occurs in bundles of one to eight...
