Physicochemical characteristics, morphology and morphogenesis of virions of the causative agent of Crimean hemorrhagic fever.
Similar physicochemical characteristics were found with strains of Crimean hemorrhagic fever (CHF) and Congo viruses. The particle size, sedimentation coefficient, buoyant density, weight of the particles as well as morphology and morphogenesis of these viruses were similar to those of other members of the Bunyaviridae family. Data are presented on reproduction of CHF virus in cell cultures and on the inner structure of its virion.
