Hi

I am interested in looking at a virus in Drosophila which overeplicates, and then lyses the cells to infect new ones.
I would like to be able to detect the lysis in adult drosophila flies, to look at the timing of lysis. Is there any way that I can
stain only the cells that have been lysed by the virus? I know there is Acridine orange which stains apoptotic cells,
however apoptosis and phage lysis are a bit different to each other.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is there any other method?

Cheers

Mike
