Abstract
A virus is associated with a strain of transovarially-transmitted SR-spirochetes, NSR, of Drosophila. This virus, designated spv-1, is able to infect and to multiply in another strain of SR-spirochetes, WSR, thereby eliminating the SR condition from the host flies. Spv-1 contains DNA, has a buoyant density of 1.480 in CsCl, and is spherical in shape, measuring 50-60 nm in diameter.Entities:
