title: Investigations on the structure and morphogenesis of some arboviruses isolated in the U.S.S.R.
abstract: The morphology and some stages of morphogenesis in suckling mouse brains of hitherto serologically unclassified viruses Kaspiy (LEIV-A-63), Zavashan (LEIV-Ap-6158), Artashat (LEIV-A-2366), and Paramushir (LEIV-C-2268), isolated in the U.S.S.R., of GM-710 virus isolated in Scotland, and of Sokuluk (LEIV-K-400) virus belonging to the genus Flavivirus (family Togaviridae) were studied. Virion sizes were determined and changes in infected cells described. Based on their structure and morphogenesis, the viruses Kaspiy, Artashat, Zavashan and Paramushir were referred to the family Bunyaviridae and GM-710 virus was referred to the genus Orbivirus (family Reoviridae).
