Abstract
Polymorphisms were readily detected in polydnavirus DNA extracted from several different species belonging to two different families of parasitic hymenoptera. Heterogeneity was observed as differences in electrophoretic profiles of genome segments, differences in the number of cross-hybridizing genome segments, and restriction fragment length polymorphisms; polymorphism was also detected at the level of an individual genome segment. Some implications drawn from these observations are discussed. Key words: polydnavirus, multipartite genomes, DNA polymorphisms.Keywords
