Popis: Five strains of Drosophila C virus (DCV) were found to be serologically indistinguishable. By using antisera against DVC strains and cricket paralysis virus (CrPV), a relationship was shown to exist between the two viruses. All DCV strains exhibited the same polypeptide profile when analyzed on SDS-polyacrylamide gels and, while basically similar, analysis of CrPV polypeptides revealed that they were slightly larger than those of DCV. Three strains of DCV could be distinguished from each other by their pathogenicity in Drosophila melanogaster or Galleria mellonella , while only CrPV was able to multiply in Gryllus bimaculatus . Also, CrPV but not DCV, could multiply in an established cell line of Lymantria dispar .
