Entomobirnavirus
Virus classification
Group:
Group III (dsRNA)
Family:
Birnaviridae
Genus:
Entomobirnavirus
Type Species

Entomobirnavirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Birnaviridae. Drosophila melanogaster serve as natural hosts. There is currently only one species in this genus: the type species Drosophila X virus. [1][2]

Taxonomy

Group: dsRNA

Order: Unassigned
  • Family: Birnaviridae
    • Genus: Entomobirnavirus

[2]

Structure

Viruses in Entomobirnavirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and Single-shelled geometries, and T=13 symmetry. The diameter is around 70 nm. Genomes are linear and segmented, around 15.3.2-3.5kb in length. The genome codes for 5 proteins.[1]

Life Cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded rna virus transcription is the method of transcription. Drosophila melanogaster serve as the natural host.[1]
