Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), a member of the Birnaviridae group, is a commercially important pathogen of chickens. From electron micrographs of frozen, hydrated, unstained specimens, we have computed a three-dimensional map of IBDV at about 2 nm resolution. The map shows that the structure of the virus is based on a T=13 lattice and that the subunits are predominantly trimer clustered. The subunits close to the fivefold symmetry axes are at a larger radius than those close to the two… Expand
