They were unrelated to mosquito iridescent virus when compared by complement fixation. The Tipula virus isolated from Pieris brassicae (L.), Porthetria dispar (L.) and Galleria mellonella (L.) larvae behaved identically in the system tested and were related to, but distinct from Tipula virus particles isolated from Tipula paludosa Meigen larvae. It is suggested that host antigens are incorporated in the Tipula virus particle.", }
