SUMMARY Avian reovirus 24 was propagated in duck and chick embryo fibroblasts in roller bottles. Morphological and biochemical characterization showed the virus to have a number of properties in common with human reovirus. It has a hexagonal outline with a double capsid surrounding an RNA core. Its genome consists of double-stranded RNA. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of reovirus protein revealed three major and several minor structural proteins.
