Popis: Summary A virus morphologically similar to « Drosophila X virus (DXV) was obtained from haploid cell lines and from serum added to the culture medium. This virus (DXV 2 ) did not induce the usual symptoms of DXV on Drosophila, i.e. sensitivity to CO 2 and early mortality. DXV 2 has been compared to the classical virus (DXV 1 ). They are serologically identical and their RNA has two segments with the same electrophoretic mobility. DXV 2 is thus a non-pathogenic DXV mutant. The similarity of the DXV from cell lines and from corresponding calf serum shows that cellular infections come from the serum.
