INTRANUCLEAR INCLUSION BODIES

1 . Cowdry type A : Herpes viridiae

2. Cowdry type B : Entero viridae (Polio,Coxsackie)

3 .Torres bodies : Yellow fever virus

INTRACYTOPLASMIC INCLUSION BODIES

1 . Negri bodies : Rabies Virus

2 . Henderson-Roterson bodies : Molluscum contagiousum (entomopoxvirinae)

3 . Guernieri bodies : Variola virus (Chordipoxvirinae)

Remember MEASLES VIRUS has both intracytoplasmic as well as intranuclear inclusion bodies,known as WARTHIN-FINKELDeY CELLS

P.s - Apart from the virus,some bacteria too forms inclusion bodies,but they are always intracytoplasmic and they represent microcolonies only.

Halbersteider-Prowazeck Bodies for Chlamydia trachomatis
