This is the first report of plaque formation by a pathogenic insect virus.Trichoplusia ni(TN-368) cells overlaid with medium containing 0.6% methyl cellulose continued to multiply, developed into monolayers, and produced plaques after infection with alfalfa looper nuclear polyhedrosis virus. Viral polyhedral inclusion bodies were first observed 24 hr after exposure of cells to virus, and plaques continued to increase in size for 72 hr. Two different types of plaques were observed: one in which all cells had many polyhedra in their nuclei, and another in which few cells had inclusion bodies. When virus from either plaque was injected intoT. nilarvae, they died of typical nuclear polyhedrosis virus disease. The assay was reproducible, and plaque numbers were related to virus concentration.
