A reovirus-like agent has been isolated from an established Drosophila melanogaster cell line 67j25D-G. The virion was 68 nm in diam. with a distinct outer capsid. The virus particles contained at least five polypeptides with mol. wt. of 30, 40, 70, 100 and 120 (all × 103) and 10 segments of double-stranded high mol. wt. RNA. Viruses of the same type were detected in several cell cultures of D. melanogaster obtained from different sources. The viral nucleic acid accounted for about 20% of the RNA in the cultured cells.
