Virus classification Edit this classification
(unranked): Virus

Class: Pisoniviricetes
Order: Picornavirales
Family: Picornaviridae
Genus: Aquamavirus

Aquamavirus is a genus of viruses in the order Picornavirales, in the family Picornaviridae. Seals serve as natural hosts. Currently, only one species is placed in this genus, the type species Aquamavirus A.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Group: ssRNA(+)

    • Genus: Aquamavirus
      • Aquamavirus A

[2]

Structure

Viruses in Aquamavirus are nonenveloped, with icosahedral, spherical, and round geometries, and T=pseudo3 symmetry. The diameter is around 30 nm. Genomes are linear and nonsegmented, around 6.7 kb in length.[1]

Lifecycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the virus to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis. Replication follows the positive-stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive-stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by lysis, and viroporins. Seals serve as the natural hosts.[1]
