Author ProfileAbstract
Until the isolation of IMNV from penaeid shrimps, the first Totiviridae
member to be isolated from an arthopod, no Totiviridae member had been
isolated from an arthopod, and more toti-like virus was discovered from
arthopod. In this paper, we effectively isolated a novel totivirus-like
particle from Culex tritaeniorhynchus designated NODE2. Sequence and
phylogenetic analysis shows that the NODE2 has the similar genome
organization just as some other members of Totiviridae family, and it
may represent an entirely novel genus within the Totiviridae family.
