The viruses are very similar physically, although BVY aggregates in low salt concentrations and its single protein has a slightly lower mol. wt. than that of BVX. The viruses form separate bands when centrifuged to equilibrium in CsCl. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-51-2-405
