Hello,

I am planning an experiment that involves the infection of Drosophila S2 cells with cricket paralysis virus. I cannot for the life of me find out how to acquire the virus in the first place though. Is there a vector that I can use to express it or some lab that has purified virus I can use in the infection?

Thank you

Assuming there are previous publications using this virus, where do people say they got it from?  If no supplier is specified, the easiest thing to do is to contact the corresponding author and see if he/she is willing to share.
