Ultrastructure of lymphocystis virus.

Lymphocystis virus obtained from bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus) was cultured in the permanent bluegill cell line BF-2 and examined by electron microscopy in ultrathin sections of cell cultures and in negative-contrast preparations from cells and from centrifuged culture medium. According to negative-contrast preparations, the icosahedral virions have an overall diameter close to but not exceeding 300 mmu. Delicate filaments seem to issue from the vertices. In collapsed virions, an ordered array of morphological units was seen. Positively contrasted virions in ultrathin sections show a shell with three dark (heavy metal-stained) layers alternating with and separated by two clear layers. The acquisition of an additional outer membrane during release from the cell, as found in African swine fever virus, was never seen. Morphologically, lymphocystis virus is considered to be closely related to Tipula iridescent virus.

Lymphocystis virus: isolation and propagation in centrarchid fish cell lines.

A virus from fish with lymphocystis disease was isolated in fish cell cultures. Eleven serial transfers were made and the pathognomonic lymphocystis cells were produced in vitro in each transfer. Fish inoculated with 6th- and 9th-passage material developed the disease, and virus was reisolated front them.

The effect of lesions of the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus on alimentary conditioned reflexes and food intake in dogs.

The experiments have been carried out on 6 dogs with type II conditioned alimentary reaction. After achieving the criterion in all animals the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus was destroyed by means of electrocoagulation. After the operation hypophagia developed with a rise in the number of intertrial responses and disinhibition of the alimentary conditioned reaction not exceeding 6 days. The obtained results confirm in part the hypothesis of Brutkowski who regarded this nucleus as belonging to a system controlling feeding behavior.

Duck viral enteritis: a comparison of replication by CCL-141 and primary cultures of duck embryo fibroblasts.

Cultures of primary cells and a line of fibroblast-like cells from the Pekin duck were both compared for their replication of the herpesvirus of duck viral enteritis. The two kinds of cells were equally accurate for quantifying virus upon isolation. Also, one-step growth curves showed that in both kinds of cultures new virus appeared by the 18th hour and that infectivity peaked at about 36 hours. Primary cultures yielded about 5.6 times as much virus as did the cell line, though plaques were more easily discerned in the latter. Because of availability, uniformity, and their known health history, CCL-141 cells offer some advantages for work with the agent of duck viral enteritis.
