The process of virus assembly in insect virus mixed infections

M G Tchukhriy. Acta Virol. 1983 Sep.

Abstract

Interference occurred upon infection of the cabbage moth caterpillars (Mamestra brassicae L.) with a mixture of nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV), resulting in the impairment of virus assembly, and formation of abnormal nucleocapsids. At the same time protein supercapsids were produced normally, but contained no infectious virions. When insects were infected with related viruses, the virions developed as usual, but the protein supercapsids revealed abnormal forms.
