A type of viral disease in insects. It mainly infects and causes disease in the larvae of lepidopteran insects such as silkworms. The virus is a regular icosahedron with a diameter of 50 to 70 nm, with protrusions at each vertex, and its nucleic acid is double-stranded RNA. Normally, virus particles are embedded randomly in protein inclusion bodies called polyhedra with a diameter of 3 to 6 μm. There are various types of polyhedra, including regular icosahedrons, regular hexahedrons, and irregular shapes, and these shapes are consistent depending on the type or strain of the virus. When an insect ingests food contaminated with polyhedra, the polyhedra dissolve in the digestive tract, releasing the virus particles, which infect the midgut tissue.

昆虫のウイルス病の一種。主にカイコなど鱗翅(りんし)目昆虫の幼虫が感染・発病する。ウイルスは直径50~70nmの正二十面体で,各頂点に突起をもち,核酸は二本鎖RNAである。普通ウイルス粒子は,直径3~6μmの多角体と呼ばれるタンパク質の封入体中にランダムに埋めこまれている。多角体には正二十面体,正六面体,不整型など種々のものがあり,これらの形はウイルスの種類あるいは系統によって一定している。多角体で汚染された餌を昆虫が食下すると,消化管の中で多角体が溶けてウイルス粒子が遊離し,中腸組織に感染する。
