Abstract
THE nuclear polyhedral viruses of insects offer a unique opportunity for the study of virus behaviour in the cell. By knowing that the dominant focus of virus activity is in the cell nucleus, there is the advantage of being able to concentrate attention on a small and very definite site. The characteristic rod-like shape of the virus particles is an additional advantage in facilitating their recognition.
