Abstract excerpt
The family Reoviridae is a diverse group of viruses with double-stranded RNA genomes contained within icosahedral, non-enveloped, double-layered protein capsids. Within the Reoviridae, the Orthoreovirus genus includes viruses that infect reptiles, birds and mammals (including humans). Recent sequencing efforts have produced a great deal of new molecular data for the fusogenic orthoreoviruses, a group of...
