Nor will it attempt to substitute for the extraordinarily rich literature on the atomic bombs and the end of World War II. This collection does not attempt to document the origins and development of the Manhattan Project.
Background. The Ebola virus is an âenveloped virus,â meaning that the core of the virus is surrounded by a lipoprotein outer layer. Enveloped viruses such as Ebola are more susceptible to destruction with a number of physical and chemical agents than viruses without lipoprotein envelopes (Figure).ackground.

Influenza is a lipid-enveloped, pleomorphic virus. We combine electron cryotomography and analysis of images of frozen-hydrated virions to determine the structural organization of filamentous influenza A virus. Influenza A/Udorn/72 virions are capsule-shaped or filamentous particles of highly uniform diameter.n the present study, we investigate the structural basis for filamentous morphology in influenza virus. Filamentous morphology is typical of clinical isolates of influenza virus, whereas a spherical morphology is observed in many laboratory-passaged influenza strains (18, 19).
