Relationship of encephalomyocarditis virus to cricket paralysis virus of insects.
Cricket paralysis virus was shown to share common antigen(s) with encephalomyocarditis virus (Cardiovirus: Picornaviridae), a virus normally associated with mammals. These viruses must be regarded now as being related strains of one and the same virus. These results pose interesting questions for the taxonomy and ecology of small RNA viruses.
