Electron Microscope Studies of Sindbis Virus: A Newly Recognized Arthropod-Transmitted Virus
Abstract
Summary
Studies by electron microscopy of allantoic-amniotic fluid from embryonating chicken eggs infected with Sindbis virus show the virus to be spherical in shape with a diameter between 45 mu and 55 mu. These bodies could not be demonstrated in concentrated suspensions of normal filtered allantoic-amniotic fluid. Neutralization tests confirmed the virus to be Sinbis tropical virus.
