Abstract
A virus, named Matsu, presumed to be the etiologic agent of hereditary sensitivity to carbon dioxide in Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes, was adapted to growth in the C6/36 line of Aedes albopictus cells. Though it was expected that the mosquito virus would be a rhabdovirus like sigma, the etiologic agent of hereditary carbon dioxide sensitivity in Drosophila melanogaster flies, that was not the case. The virion of Matsu was found to be unlike any previously described virus. It was pleomorphic, enveloped, from 200 to 550 nm in maximum diameter, and contained from three to several dozen virus-like polyhedral structures approximately 30 nm in diameter.
