Summary
A virus isolated from horses after abortion was propagated in cultures of swine kidney cells. Shape and structure of the virus particles as seen in negatively stained preparations and changes observed in ultrathin sections of infected cells suggest that the virus belongs to the herpes group. However, most of the virus particles in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm have a structure different from that of herpes virus. Instead of the nucleoid, vesicle-like formations are arranged in the particle, so as to produce a cross-shaped light area in the center of the particle.
