Dinovernavirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Reoviridae, in the subfamily Spinareovirinae. These viruses replicate in a variety of mosquito cell lines. There is currently only one species in this genus: the type species Aedes pseudoscutellaris reovirus.[1][2]

Structure
Viruses in Dinovernavirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=2 symmetry. The diameter is around 49-50 nm. Genomes are linear and segmented. The genome codes for 9 proteins.[1]
| Genus | Structure | Symmetry | Capsid | Genomic arrangement | Genomic segmentation |

| Dinovernavirus | Icosahedral | T=2 | Non-enveloped | Linear | Segmented |
Life cycle
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis. Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by monopartite non-tubule guided viral movement. Mosquito serve as the natural host.[1]
