Dying Woodlouse Iridovirus

Awful photo, this is the only time I have found this and I think it is interesting. I did not know why it was yellow when I saw it.

When it gets to this stage it is fatal. SJ88452060

Viral replication is nucleo-cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the viral proteins to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis. Replication follows the DNA strand displacement model. DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. Insects serve as the natural host.[2] Wikipedia
