Electron scanning microscope studies in pigeon pox virus.
It is evident that the five so-called pigeon pox viruses manifest differences in growth patterns. All produced some interruption in the secretory activity of the allantoic membrane. All produced cytoplasmic bridges and distorted the cellular membranes with protoplasmic loops. Only the Amdal virus strain actively ejected virus particles outside the cell membrane. The other virus strains exhibited this tendency to a lesser degree.
