Caption

Panel A: The Penaeus monodon metallodensovirus (PmMDV) capsid surface at near atomic resolution, in comparison with other high-resolution capsid structures of other invertebrate and vertebrate-infecting parvoviruses. PmMDV and PstDV infect the same host and display remarkably similar surface morphologies. Panel B: The significant expansion of the PmMDV fivefold pore and channel, following EDTA treatment.
