Extract

Chilo iridescent virus (CIV), the type species of the genus Iridovirusin the family Iridoviridae,was first isolated from the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis,a member of Lepidoptera insect order. ‘2 CIV is being considered as a potential pest control agent because of its wide host range which includes leafhoppers and some arthropods. The virion (∼lxl09 daltons) encapsidates a 209 kbp, dsDNA genome within its fiber-covered, icosahedral shell. The virion is composed of about 26 structural proteins, two (P50 and P'50, 50kDa each) of which are the major capsid proteins. P50 migrates as a monomer in either a reducing or non-reducing SDS-PAGE gel and is exposed to the surface, whereas P'50 exists as a disulfide-bond, stabilized trimer in a non-reducing gel and is only partially exposed. Virions contain 9% lipid present as a lipid bilayer within the protein capsid.
