Structure of the Bluetongue Virus Capsid [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1972 Seven polypeptides were found to be present in the capsid of the bluetongue virus (BTV), four of which are major and three are minor components. This number and size distribution is the same as that found in reovirus, which has a similar segmented, double-stranded ribonucleic acid genome.
