Togaviruses: Structure and Replication | Microbiology
In this article we will discuss about the structure and replication of togaviruses. Structure of Togaviruses: The virus is enveloped and forms spherical particle of 65-70 nm diameter. It includes icosahedral capsid, which is made up of 240 monomers (Fig. 17.26). It has a triangulation number of (74). Envelope consists of 80 trimer spikes; dimension of each spike is 3xE1/E2 [...]
