Investigation of virus-like particles in Leishmania hertigi.
The promastigote forms of an isolate of Leishmania hertigi contain large numbers of virus-like particles (VLPs) in paracrystalline arrays. The VLPs are not present in the amastigote form and it was not possible to purify them from large amounts of the promastigotes.
