有充分的证据表明，许多最近分离的甲型流感毒株所特有的丝状形式是感染单位1；但它们在流感病毒复制过程中的意义尚不清楚。有人认为，细丝代表病毒感染阶段产生的初始形式，球体是次要形成的。另一些人则认为，这种细丝是尿囊细胞自由表面产生新的感染性颗粒过程的副产品。
THERE is good evidence that the filamentous forms characteristic of many recently isolated strains of influenza A are infective units1; but their significance in relation to the process of influenza virus replication is by no means clear. It has been suggested that filaments represent the initial form in which the infective phase of the virus is produced, spheres being formed secondarily2. Others have suggested that the filament is a by-product, as it were, of the process by which new infective particles are produced at the free surface of the allantoic cell3.
