Pathology and Development of the Grasshopper Inclusion Body Virus in Melanoplus sanguinipes

ABSTRACT

Grasshoppers, Melanoplus sanguinipes (F.), infected with the grasshopper inclusion body virus (GIBV) showed a general torpor, took longer to develop, and had abnormally high rates of mortality. Infection was found only in the fat body, and developing viruses and inclusion bodies were observed in the nuclei and cytoplasm of infected cells. Although the size of the inclusion bodies in cells varied at different stages of infection, the inclusion bodies appeared to grow during the infection. Electron microscopic investigations of viral replication showed that at about 8 days after inoculation presumptive viral particles had developed as buds or protrusions from precursor granular masses; thereafter, these particles underwent internal differentiation and were incorporated into developing inclusion bodies. The GIBV was similar to insect viruses in the genus Vagoiavirus Weiser and to pox viruses, particularly vaccinia.
