Thin sections of petals from Fragaria vesca strawberries infected with strawberry crinkle virus (SCV), and of SCV-inoculative Chaetosiphon jacobi aphids, contained cytoplasmic areas with bacilliform particles ca. 190-380 nm long and 69 ± 6 nm wide in the coated form: In the plant tissues, the particles frequently occurred in small aggregations, but those in the insect tissues tended to be more isolated. The particles were not associated with nuclei, and frequently were located at the periphery of cells.
