ABSTRACT: Some characteristics of a reovirus recently isolated from golden ide Leuciscus idus melanotus and tentatively designated as golden ide reovirus (GIRV) were determined. Spherical non- enveloped particles with an outer capsid of about 70 nm
and an inner capsid of about 50 nm were observed by electron microscopy. The density of the virus determined in CsCl gradients was 1.36 g ml-1. The genome contained 11 segments of dsRNA. GIRV differed from other aquareoviruses by a slight
reduction of infectivity after treatment with chloroform and by the absence of forming syncytia in cell monolayers.
