Abstract

The 32-nm-diameter spherical viral particles found in the cytoplasm of Leishmania guyanensis CUMC1-1A sediment at 130S and have a buoyant density of approximately 1.4 g/ml in cesium chloride gradients. These particles contain a 5.3-kb double-stranded RNA, while single-stranded RNA that corresponds to the viral positive strand is associated with less-dense particles. These results suggest a conservative and sequential mode of LRV1 viral RNA replication that is exemplified by the ScV L-A virus of yeast.
