Abstract
Bluetongue virus was found to be resistant to ether, chloroform and sodium deoxycholate under a variety of conditions but sensitive to treatment with trypsin. The virus had a narrow zone of pH stability between pH 6 and 8 in Michaelis buffer. Below pH 6 bluetongue was irreversibly inactivated within 1 min. at 37° C. In many of its characteristics, bluetongue virus appears to be closely related to the reoviruses.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
