Isometric virus‐like particles (VLPs) have been purified from cucumber leaf tissue. Three dsRNA segments with estimated molecular weights of 1.8, 1.1 and 1.0 × 10 6 d have been isolated from VLPs occurring in CsCl density gradient fractions but were also readily detected in preparations from as little as 1 g of fresh leaf tissue. The VLPs resemble dsRNA containing cryptic viruses and have been named Cucumis sativus cryptic virus (CsCV).
