Transmission electron micrographs of selected neurotropic viruses. (A) SARS-CoV-2 (marked by arrowhead) isolated on Vero E6 cells, ultracentrifuged onto formvar coated with carbon stabilized grids and negatively stained by using 2% phosphotungstic acid. (B) West Nile viruses (marked by arrowheads) in an infected SK-N-SH cell; the image shows an Epon embedded ultrathin section contrasted with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. (C) Zika virus (see arrowheads, strain Uganda 976) in an infected Vero E6 cell; the image shows an Epon embedded ultrathin section contrasted with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. Strings of viruses represent virus localization within endoplasmic reticulum. (D) Tick-borne encephalitis virus (marked by arrowheads) isolated on Vero E6 cells, ultracentrifuged onto formvar coated with carbon stabilized grids and negatively stained using 2% phosphotungstic acid. Electron micrographs were obtained by transmission electron microscope (JEM-1400 Plus, JEOL, Tokyo, Japan) at 120 kV.
