The virions are approximately 130 to 170 nm in diameter and have a bilaminal envelope, while the nucleocapsids are 90-140 nm. The virus occurs and distributes in the cytoplasmic vesicles of infected cells, and it is arranged in a scattered form without occluding protein. The viral particles are consistent in size and morphology in preparations derived from the isolation and also from ultrathin sections. The spikes of envelope are clearly observed with negative staining. By the same methods, this virus was not found in the healthy scallop, indicating that this virus might be the causative aetiology for the abnormal mortality.展开更多

Electron microscopic examination of ultrathin section of the gills, stomach and mid-gut tissues also revealed the presence of rod-shaped baculoviral particles with the same size in the affected cell nuclei, where most of the virions arranging in cluster assembled and caused a series of cytopathic changes. The virion covered with bilaminal envelope was 320 ~ 400 nm × 100 ~ 130 nm in size, whereas the nucleocapsid ranged in size of 250~ 300 nm in length and 70 ~ 100 nm in breadth respectively. No nuclear polyhedron or granulin occlusion theies have been found in cells. According to the principle of viral classification, this newly found virus could probably belong to the non-occluded subgroup of insect baculoviridae, i. e., C subgroup baculovirus.展开更多
