Study on the Morphology and Structure of the Virion of the Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus(RHDV)
Abstract: In this paper some properties of the original strain of the RHDV-A_3R-3 (separated from Wu Xi, China 1984) was reported. The purified virions was stained with 2% PTA and examined by electromicroscopic observation. The results revealed that the virus particles have nonenveloped capsidand exhibited icosahedral symmetry. The full viral particles have 33—37nm in diameter. The capsomer is seen to be tubelike structures with 5—6nm in length and 2—3nm in diameter of central holes. The face of the trianglation of t...
