Structure of Rabies Viruses (With Diagram) | Microbiology

In this article we will discuss about the structure of rabies viruses (explained with diagram). Rhabdo-viruses have a unique bullet-shaped appearance measuring about 180 × 75 nm. They have an envelope with prominent spikes on surface but not very variable in appearance. Spikes are made up of G protein that haem-agglutinate RBCs. The envelope is lined by the matrix protein [...]

Replication Cycle of Rabies Viruses | Microbiology

In this article we will discuss about the replication cycle of rabies viruses. The infection process is initiated with adsorption of virus on the host cell. Interaction takes place between spike G protein and specific cell surface receptors. It results in fusion of the rabies virus envelope with the host cell membrane. After adsorption, the virus penetrates the host cell [...]
