 | | TSV, is a member of the family Dicistroviridae (closely related to Picornaviridae), genus Cripavirus (8,9). |
 | | Other than TSV, which only infects penaeid shrimp, members of the genus Cripavirus are known to infect only insects (9). |
 | | BGMK, FRhK-4, and MA-104 cell lines are often used for isolation and research purposes for enteroviral meningitis (3), hepatitis A virus (7), polioviruses, coxsackie A, and coxsackie B (22) because of their marked susceptibility to infection by these members of the Picornaviridae. |
