  abstract = {{A} small isometric {V}itus has been isolated from larvae of the {G}uatemala potato tuber moth, {T}ecia solanivora ({P}ovolny), collected in {E}cuador. it was designated the {A}nchilibi virus ({A}nch{V}). {T}he non-enveloped viral particles have an estimated diameter of 32 +/- 2 nm. {T}hree major proteins were found in virions, with estimated sizes of 102.0 +/- 2.1, 95.8 +/- 2.0 and 92.4 +/- 1.5 k{D}a for {A}nch{V} as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. {A}fter denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis, the genome of {A}nch{V} appeared to be a tri-segmented single-stranded {RNA} with fragment sizes of 4.1 +/- 0.2, 2.8 +/- 0.2 and 1.65 +/- 0.2 kb. {I}n addition to a high virulence towards its original host, {A}nch{V} also caused high mortality in larvae of two other potato tuber moth species, {P}hthorimaea operculella ({Z}eller) and {S}ymmetrischema (tangolias) plaesiosema ({T}urner). {E}lectron microscopy confirmed that {A}nch{V} replication occurs in the cell cytoplasm, mainly in vesicles. {S}everal important characteristics exhibited by this {V}irus differ from those reported for known families of insect viruses. {T}hus, {A}nch{V} might be member of a new taxonomic group.},
