Summary
An ultrastructural study has been undertaken of the morphology and development of Entebbe bat salivary gland virus in new born mouse brain. Particles, 35 mμ in diameter, were present in neurons of infected mice. A possible developmental sequence involving neurotubules and endoplasmic reticulum is proposed.
