Characterization of the DNA of granulosis viruses isolated from two closely related moths, Chilo infuscatellus and C. saccariphagus indicus.
Digestion of the DNA from Chilo infuscatellus and C. saccariphagus indicus GVs with the restriction endonucleases EcoRI, BamHI, XhoI, and SalI, produced readily distinguishable profiles, with very few co-migrating fragments. The approximate size of the genome was calculated to be 112kbp for both GVs. The percent relative hybridization between the two DNAs was in the range 30 to 40%.
