The use of scanning electron microscopy in the study of haemagglutination induced by various arboviruses.
Scanning electron microscopy was used to study haemagglutination by 10 arboviruses belonging to the Togaviridae and Bunyaviridae families. The pictures obtained did not allow to clarify the precise mechanism of haemagglutination by these viruses. The data suggest that no fundamental differences exist in the mechanism of haemagglutination between these two arbovirus families.
