Molecular cloning and characterization of Bombyx densovirus genomic DNA. Brief report

A map of the Bombyx densovirus (DNV) genomic DNA has been constructed by cleaving it with several restriction endonucleases. This map shows that this virus and the mammalian parvoviruses are distinct. A restriction fragment containing more than 85 per cent of the complete viral genome has been cloned in a bacterial plasmid.
