The structure of togaviruses and bunyaviruses. 1975

M C Horzinek

This article reviews the properties of arthropod-borne and nonarbo togaviruses and members of the Bunyaviridae family. Averaged information is given on the morphology and substructure of the virion, its physical properties, its chemical composition and the function of its constituents. Special attention is given to distinctive traits which might be useful for virus classification.
