Viruses of Entamoeba histolytica V. Ultrastructure of the Polyhedral Virus V301

Carl F T Mattern 1, Jerome F Hruska 1, Louis S Diamond 1
PMCID: PMC355285  PMID: 4359426

Abstract

The polyhedral amoebal virus V301 presents sectioned profiles consistent with its having icosahedral (532) symmetry. The DNA appears to be packed in an orderly, folded arrangement of lesser symmetry.
