Intranuclear virus-like particles (VLPs) have been observed in different cell lines and adult tissues of Drosophila. In the present study, intranuclear VLPs have been found in larval tissues (salivary glands, midgut, fat body) as well as in adult tissues (midgut, genitals, fat body) of a rare inters...
