Abstract
Summary
1) Young Syrian golden hamsters were inoculated with equine abortion virus (EAV). Hepatic cells from these animals, in late stages of infection, were studied with the electron microscope, and compared with similar material from uninfected (control) animals. 2) Various forms in which virus particles were seen, are described, and their similarity to other viruses is discussed. 3) Virus particles were observed predominantly in the nuclei. 4) “Nests” of virus particles were seen, but these were not considered to be equivalent to the intranuclear inclusion bodies characteristically seen by light microscopy. No structures identifiable as inclusion bodies were seen. 5) Other cytopathogenic effects are described.
