Abstract: ABSTRACT Coding complete genomes of an iridovirus (194,403 nts) and two parvoviruses (4,689, 3,764 nts) were identified in social spiders ( Stegodyphus dumicola ). The iridovirus and one of the parvovirus are most closely related to those from house crickets ( Acheta domesticus ), whereas the other is most closely related to one from a social spider.
