ABSTRACT
The spot sweetflag virus (SSV) as to its morphology and structural components in comparison with phytorhabdovirus of curly potato dwarf virus (CPDV) and rhabdoviruses of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), pathogenic for people and animals, corresponds to the definition of rhabdovirus and belongs to Rhabdoviridae family. Virions of SSV have a bacillus-like form and dimensions 110-130 x 45 nm. SSV contains structural proteins 130, 66, 43-39, 32-30 and 25 kDa. In the virion structure the fatty acids have been identified: palmitic (47 %), linolic (4.2%), oleic (14.9%), stearic (3.94%), holesterol (23%), and also carbohydrates: glucose (25.3%), galactose (18.3%), arabinose (16%), rhamnose (3.1%) and mannose (2.32%). Aminosaccharides: glucosamine and galactosamine, with correlation 1:7.2, were also found out. The paper is presented in Ukrainian.
