Free and Occluded Virus, similar to Baculovirus, in Hepatopancreas of Pink Shrimp

Nature volume 247, pages 229–231 (1974)Cite this article

Abstract

VIRUSES or virus-like particles have been reported infrequently from cells of estuarine and marine organisms1–4. Herpes-type viruses were described from an estuarine fungus3 and oysters4. Helical or rod-shaped viruses have not been reported from most aquatic invertebrates, although rod-shaped virus-like particles were reported from a microannelid5 and aquatic beetle6.
