An Antigenically Atypical Strain of Variola Virus

Journal of General Virology, 1976
The Kuwait-5-67 strain of variola virus, although indistinguishable from variola virus in its other properties, behaved atypically in immuno-diffusion tests with antivaccinia serum. The precipitation line pattern produced was similar to that of cowpox virus but lacked one of the main precipitation bands given by all other strains of variola, alastrim ...

Effect of disinfectants on variola virus in cell culture [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1976
Twenty kinds of disinfectants were examined for ability to inactivate variola virus. Cytopathic effect and plaque formation on monolayer cultures of an established monkey kidney cell line were used as indicators of virus inactivation. A micromethod using microplate cultures, and not requiring a CO2 incubator, was adopted.
