Discovery of a Novel Double-Stranded DNA Virus Reveals its Long-term Co-evolution with Ants
2025-02-17
Abstract excerpt
Large double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses have been shown to have a wide host range in insects. However, their infection in ants has not yet been described. In this study, a novel filamentous virus, Camponotus japonicus labial gland disease virus (CjLGDV), was identified in the enlarged labial gland of Camponotus japonicus . By transmission electron microscopy, the nucleus of infected labial gland cell was shown...
