Rabies virus in the salivary gland of a rabid fox. In this image there are salivary gland cells (cells that make mucous saliva) on both edges. The salivary space in the center, which leads downstream to the salivary duct, is filled with bullet-shaped virions. The virions are sectioned in various planes so they do not all look like bullets. Magnification: approximately x40,000."
