Muscavirus musdomesticae (entomopathogen)
Assigned virus:
• Musca domestica salivary gland hypertrophy virus (MdSGHV)
The Musca domestica salivary gland hypertrophy virus infects and sterilizes adult house flies. It multiplies in the salivary glands which become swollen while the ovaries shrink. It is not transmitted to the progeny of the fly, unlike the related Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus (Glossinavirus glopallidipedis). Stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) can also become infected and have a reduced life span, but no hypertrophied salivary glands.
The particles have a size of around 65 × 550 nm. The genome consists of double-stranded DNA, about 124.3 kbp long and with a total of 108 putative ORFs.
