>>13581239You can't isolate/purify a virus the same way you isolate a bacteria, the virus must be grown in cell cultures, then you can observe if there's a cytopathic effect with electron microscopy.
Then you can do more research from this isolate (it's a virological isolate, not a bacterial one!), like trying to infect animals or replicating it in other kinds of cell cultures, define the morphology of the virus, sequence it properly...
