Cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus

Double-stranded cytoplasmic-polyhedrosis-virus RNA obtained from silkworm was scarcely split by RNase U2 (106). 

Diameter measured including the poorly ordered A spike. When excluding the A spike, cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus has a diameter of 710 A.

Reoviruses from insects, called "cytoplasmic polyhedrosis viruses," are unique among the members of this family in that they are the only ones in the family that have the infectious virions enclosed in a protein crystal. Only the cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus from the pine caterpillar, Dendrolimus spectabilis, has been widely used as a control agent 11). These viruses are not highly lethal, but rather persist in the infected population causing lethargy in infected larvae and lower fecundity in adults. They are most suitable for use in situations, such as the forest, where some insect damage can be tolerated.

Another role for Ado-Met has been recently found by Shatkin b it modifies aliosterically RNA polymerase, thus activating RNA initiation in a viral system, namely cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus, during transcription of mRNA.
