Electron Microscopy of Koongol Group Arboviruses

Abstract

Koongol and Wongal virions are isometric, enveloped, and 90-100 nm in diameter. They develop by budding into smooth-surfaced vesicles in or near the Golgi region of the cytoplasm of infected cells. In morphology and morphogenesis they thus resemble other members of the Bunyamwera supergroup of arboviruses.
