Figure 1.

Ultrastructural analysis of E.Derm cells infected with BEV embedded in epoxy resin. Electron micrographs of E.Derm cells infected with BEV for 16 h and embedded in the epoxy resin TAAB‐812 after conventional chemical fixation, where the presence of DMVs can be clearly observed.

A. A cluster of DMVs (white asterisk) surrounded by mitochondria and ER.

B. Enlarged view of a DMV cluster showing some viral particles inside a vesicle located in the periphery of the cluster (white arrow).

C, D. Connections between DMVs (white arrowhead) and between DMVs and the ER (black arrowhead).

E, F. DMVs located close to the nucleus showing connections between them (white arrowhead) and with the MAM (black arrow), which can be observed with more detail in the enlarged area shown in F.

M: mitochondria; ER: endoplasmic reticulum; N: nucleus. Scale bars, 200 nm.
