Scanning electron micrographs of two virus-like particles (VLPs) found on the surface of an egg of Leptopilina heterotoma dissected from an infected Drosophila melanogaster second-instar larva. L. heterotoma is a parasitic wasp that attacks larvae of many Drosophila species. VLPs mediate immune suppression in the infected host. Images courtesy of Dr S.
