Abstract:
We surveyed the extent of rat virus (RV) infections in Japan and isolated new RV strains. The new strains were similar to the prototype RV strain in stability, morphology in electron microscopy and structural polypeptides. There were slight differences, however, in hemagglutination activity and the antigenicity.
