[Particularities of the morphogenesis of the rabies virus and of its morphology observed during routine culture controls through the electron microscope].
Whilst practising routine controls with an electron microscope on NIL 2 cell cultures infected by the rabies virus, the occasion arose to reveal certain features of the morphogenesis of this virus and the particular action of glutaraldehyde which alters the aspect of the rabies virus. During the cultures, we witnessed, in succession, the production of morphologically normal virions, then progressively degraded virions whilst the cells recover and develop towards a chronic infection state. Glutaraldehyde treatment of the suspensions proved to be of great interest for electron microscopy observation.
