Abstract
Virus 1394 is filtrable through Seles 03, Seitz SL sterilizing filter, Berkefeld W, and Millipore filter at 300-m[mu] pore size but not through 50-m[mu] pore size. By electron microscopic study the virus is 60 m[mu] in diameter. The caposmeres are hollow and 75 A in diameter. The virus is heat-stable, ether-resistant, unstable at pH 3-5 but stable at pH 6-8, and effectively inactivated by disinfectants such as mercury bichloride zephiran, and phenol. It is suggested that virus 1394 could be considered as an avian Reovirus.
