Nucleotide sequence analysis of Triatoma virus shows that it is a member of a novel group of insect RNA viruses
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Triatoma virus (TrV) is the only virus described to date that infects triatomines, and has previously been considered to be a member of the family Picornaviridae on the basis of physico-chemical properties. The genome of TrV was sequenced completely (9010 nt). Analysis of the sequence revealed the presence of two large open reading frames (ORFs). The predicted amino acid sequence of ORF1 (nt 549-5936) showed...
