An entomopoxvirus infecting fat body cells of Anacridium aegyptium is reported. Spheroid virus occlusion bodies, ranging in size from 3 to 8 mu m, contain virions 336-356 nm long and 210-217 nm wide. The virion ultrastructure indicates that the newly discovered virus belongs to t he genus Entomopoxvirus B known to infect Lepidoptera and Orthoptera.
