ICTVdB Virus Code: 00.073.0.01.010.00.006. Virus accession number: 73001310. Obsolete virus code: 73.0.1.0.006; superceded accession number: 73010006.
NCBI Taxonomy Identifier Taxon ID: 48541.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

Virus is assigned to the genus 00.073.0.01. Alphavirus in the family 00.073. Togaviridae; not assigned to an order.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of an envelope and a nucleocapsid. During their life cycle, virions have not been observed outside a cellular environment and have a cell-associated cycle. Virus capsid is enveloped (with a tight fitting membrane). Virions are spherical and measure about 70 nm in diameter. Surface projections are distinctive glycoprotein spikes composed of two virus proteins forming heterodimers that cover evenly the surface. Capsid/nucleocapsid is round and exhibits icosahedral symmetry (T=4). The nucleocapsid is isometric and has a diameter of about 40 nm. Capsids appear round.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is not segmented and contains a single molecule of linear positive-sense, single-stranded RNA. The complete genome is about 11700 nucleotides long. Sequence can be accessed from GenBank; the RNA is partially sequenced and sequenced region is 1005 nucleotides long, or 214 nucleotides long, or 375 nucleotides long, or 517 nucleotides long. Sequenced genome has the accession number(s)
[AF398390]; [AF023287]; [U94607]; [U60403]. The 5'-end of the genome has a methylated nucleotide cap. The 3'-terminus has a poly (A) tract.

GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

The viral genome encodes structural proteins and non-structural proteins.

Antigenicity

The virus is related to all other alphaviruses.

Biological Properties

Natural Host

Virus infects during its life cycle arthropod and vertebrate hosts. Domain
Viral hosts belong to the Domain Eucarya.

Domain Eucarya
Kingdom Animalia.

Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Arthropoda and Chordata.

Phylum Arthropoda
Subphylum Hexapoda; Class Insecta; Order Diptera.

Phylum Vertebrata
Subphylum Vertebrata.

Class Aves.

Transmission and Vector Relationships

Virus is transmitted by a vector.

Vector Transmission:
Virus is transmitted by arthropods, insects.

Host:
Experimental host is susceptible to infection duck embryo. Cell lines or tissue cultures susceptible to infection are Vero.

Geographical Distribution

Geographical distribution of the virus is probably restricted. The virus spreads in North America, or South and Central Americas.
