Abstract
VIRUS diseases of both plants and animals are often characterised by the production of abnormal inclusion bodies within the cells of the host. The bodies are usually of more or less spherical form and are protein in nature. Although they commonly accompany virus diseases, they have not been found to occur in hosts infected with any other type of disease, nor are they at all similar to the many intracellular inclusions formed in normal healthy plants.
