Maturation and release of bovine viral diarrhea virus
Abstract: The morpho8enesis of bovine viral diarrhca virus(BVDV)strain Oregon C24V in bovine testiscell culture was exam ined by electron micraseopy,Virions were roughly round and approx imately 50nm in diameter with a 30nm core,Virus replication took piace within cytoplasm of hcot cells. Budding of BVDV through membrane of medified rough endoplasmic reticulum was obeer ved.The virusmight be released by exocytosis or by disintegration of the vacuoles containing virus after cell death.
