title: [Investigations on the mode of transmission of the herpesvirus of turkeys in vitro].
abstract: Fluorescent microscopic and immuno-histochemical methods, and cytochalasin B, were used to investigate the mode of transmission of the herpesvirus of turkeys in vitro. The results obtained indicated that a paramount requirement for the transmission of the herpesvirus of turkeys in vitro is the formation of virus-containing cytoplasmic protrusions. The addition of cytochalasin B to the cell culture medium prevented the formation of plaques. However, this effect was reversible.
