NCBI Taxonomy Identifier Taxon ID: 45709.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of an envelope and a nucleocapsid. Virus capsid is enveloped. Virions are spherical. Capsid/nucleocapsid is elongated and exhibits helical symmetry. Virions consist of two nucleocapsids. The nucleocapsid is filamentous and forming a closed circle.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is segmented and consists of two segments of linear negative-sense to ambisense, single-stranded RNA. The genome is transcriptional inactive. RNA-S is fully sequenced, complete sequence is 3366 nucleotides long and encodes glycoprotein precursor and nucleocapsid protein genes has the accession number
[U41071]. The multipartite genome is encapsidated, each segment in a separate nucleocapsid, and the nucleocapsids are surrounded by one envelope.

Reference to nucleotide sequence in PubMed: reference(s). GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

ICTVdB - The Universal Virus Database, developed for the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses by Dr Cornelia Büchen-Osmond is written in DELTA. The virus descriptions in ICTVdB are coded by, or using data from experts in the field of virology or members ICTV. The character list is the underlying code. All virus descriptions are based on the character list and natural language translations are automatically generated and formatted for display on the Web from the descriptions in DELTA-format.
