Abstract
Total genomic DNA preparations from the citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri, contained a DNA band corresponding to 5.5 kilobases. This DNA was a linear molecule and was cloned into pUC18. Nucleotide sequence determination indi cated that it was the replicative form of a densovirus, most closely relate d to the virus from Periplaneta fuliginosa (smokybrown cockroach).
