The ability of the Mira isolate to grow at 40 °C decreased as a function of age of cells in which the virus was grown. The unusual morphology of the lesions in late passage cells infected and maintained at 40 °C is illustrated. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-36-3-437
