Abstract
Rod-shaped virus-like particles (RSV), 55-85 nm in length and 18 nm in diameter, with 5 to 10 segments sr helical turns, were demonstrated i n the intestinal contents of young diarrhoeic pheasants by examination of a fresh sample. The origin of RSV seems to be splitting tails of b acteriophages.
