Reptilian viruses: isolation of parvovirus-like particles from corn snake Elapha guttata (Colubridae).
Parvovirus-like particles of about 30 nm in diameter were isolated from the corn snake (Elapha guttata) showing pneumonia. The DNA containing virus replicated in IgH2 cells at 30 degrees C inducing nuclear inclusion bodies.
