A recently established colony of the ichneumonid parasitoid, Hyposoter exiguae, was found to carry both a reovirus (HeRV) and a polydnavirus (HePDV). Morphogenesis of these viruses was observed in all cells comprising the ovarian calyx epithelium, apparently without detrimental effect to the parasitoid. While polydnavirus replication in H. exiguae was restricted to the calyx region, HeRV was de...
