Studies on Fine Structure and Some Physico--chemical Characteristics of a Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus from Dendrolimus punctatus Wenshanensis
Abstract: A Cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV) from the Dendrolimus punctatusWenshanensis was studied on some characterizations of fine structure and bio-chemistry. Most of polyhedra were hexhedral, less quadrilaterly and appro-ximaterly spherical. The size of polyhedra showed a significant differenceranging from 0.47 to 2.45μ and 1.1μ in average in diameter. Virions werespherical in shape with six spikes Iocated and icosahedral vertices, measuring60nm in diameter. Magnifying the photograph, the subunit arrangement...
