Specificity of Drosophila innubila Nudivirus Infection in Drosophila Cell Culture

Kent M. Mulkey, Taiye Samson Adewumi, Robert L. Unckless

This study identifies Drosophila cell lines that support replication of Drosophila innubila Nudivirus and shows that a cell culture-adapted strain can infect broadly and produce infectious virions.
