Eleven Mycoplasmatales viruses are now known. Burst size, burst time, sensitivity to ultraviolet and the host range of three viruses that were studied are different. However, all three are naked, rod-shaped particles of similar size. Plaque morphology and the isolation of immune cells suggest that both virulent and nonvirulent infections are possible.
