a molecular taxonomy for cricket paralysis virus including two new isolates from australian populations of drosophila (diptera: drosophilidae). | two new isolates of cricket paralysis virus, tar and sim, are described that were originally isolated from laboratory colonies of drosophila melanogaster and drosophila simulans respectively. using a combination of biological, serological and molecular characters it was possible to distinguish the sim isolate from all other isolates and it is thus described as a new strain; crpvsim. the tar isolate however, was indistinguishable from the crpv reference isolate crpvvic/gm/d2(2)/gm/d2(2) (teleogry ... | 1996 | 8856030 |
