Image of Poxviridae

Description:

This compilation of a number of transmission electron micrographs (TEM), revealed some of the morphologic differences displayed by three Poxviridae family members: Yaba-like disease (YLD) virus, Yabapox virus, and Tanapox virus, each in its M and C forms. M form represents the virions in their mulberry configuration, whereupon, the capsid appears much like a mulberry, and the C form represents the capsular appearance of the virions’ capsid, or external protein coat.
