Inclusions of
Cucumber Mosaic Cucumovirus
(CMV)
CMV inclusions are
not uniformly distributed and depending on the host can
be found in epidermal cells(2,4), stomata cells (1) and
the mesophyll (3,6 ). While they stain in both OG and
azure A, they are more easily detected with azure A,
especially in the mesophyll. The classical and diagnostic
shape of CMV is a hexagonal crystal with an empty inner
space (4) but it can also form large aggregates of virus
particles (5,6).
