The inner layer of human and calf rotavirus ultrastructure was analyzed using minimal doses in transmission electron microscopy. The morphological unit of spontaneously disrupted virions has the aspect of a flower-like structure, and its petals are hexagonally arranged and have a central pin hole. The similar flower appearance can be observed in complete virions and in rotavirus tube structures produced in aged samples of rotavirus kept for more than a year.
