<p> Three new virus diseases are described in larvae of
the midge, Chironomus plumosus. The intracellular development
of one of these, CpV-1, in the fat body and muscle of this
insect is given in detail. In addition, the ultrastructure
of the virion is described. Classification of the known
icosahedral cytoplasmic DNA viruses is discussed. </p> <p> The development of a cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus
in the midgut is examined. Observations are discussed in
relation to knowledge concerning other polyhedrosis viruses,
and possible evolutionary pathways among them. </p> <p> A cytoplasmic polyhedrosis of the fat body is described for the first time. The ultrastructure of the viral capsid is
compared to that of the bacteriophage X 174. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
