چکیده

The virus of transmissible enteritis of turkeys was shown to be an enveloped pleomorphic particle with an average diameter of 110 nm (range 60-250 nm). The surface bore tubular projections about 12 nm long. The internal component was very fragile, and could not be demonstrated in situ. It appeared as a helix, with a diameter of approximately 7 nm. Hemagglutination could not be demonstrated, but the virus had a strong tendency to adhere to other material during isopycnic centrifugation in sucrose. The complete virus had a density of 1.24 g/cm3.
