Abstract
Nuclear inclusion bodies are found in the hemocytes of all tussock moth larvae parasitized by the braconid wasp Apanteles melanoscelus. These inclusion bodies represent the apparent site of replication of an unusual virus-like particle. Identical particles are observed in the nuclei of a small number of parasitoid calyx cells and are probably transmitted to host larvae during oviposition.
