Eel Virus (Berlin) is associated with the occurrence of skin tumors in European eels. The genome of the virus consists of two segments of double-stranded (ds) RNA. The agent is assembled exclusively in the cytoplasm. Isometric particles with a diameter of 61 nm and in addition tubular structures and smaller particles were observed. The virion has a single shell: its capsid is composed of 132 interconnected morphological units with T = 13 dextro symmetry. According to particle size and bipartite nature of the genome, this virus has to be assigned to the tentatively proposed group of bisegmented ds RNA animal viruses.
鳗鱼病毒(柏林株)与欧洲鳗鱼皮肤肿瘤的发生有关。该病毒的基因组由两段双链(ds)RNA组成。该病原体仅在细胞质中组装。观察到直径为61纳米的等轴颗粒,此外还有管状结构和较小的颗粒。病毒粒子有单层外壳:其衣壳由132个相互连接的形态学单位组成,具有T = 13右旋对称性。根据颗粒大小和基因组的二分性质,这种病毒必须被归入暂定提议的双节段dsRNA动物病毒组。
