Orthomyxoviridae


Orthomyxoviridae

[‚ȯr·thə‚mik·sə′vir·ə‚dī] (virology) A family of negative-strand ribonucleic acid viruses characterized by enveloped, spherical, pleomorphic virions with a helical nucleocapsid containing a fragmented genome, it includes the genus Influenzavirus (human influenza type A).

Orthomyxoviridae


Or·tho·myx·o·vir·i·dae

(ōr'thō-mik'sō-vir'i-dē), The family of viruses that contains the three genera of influenza viruses, types A and B, C, and Thogoto-like viruses. Virions are roughly spheric or filamentous, and the former (the more common form) are 80-120 mm in diameter and ether-sensitive; envelopes are studded with surface projections; nucleocapsids are of helical symmetry, 6-9 nm in diameter, and contain single-stranded, segmented RNA. The nucleoprotein antigen of each type of virus is common to all strains of the type but is distinct from those of the other types; the mosaic of surface antigens varies from strain to strain. Nucleocapsids seem to be formed in the nuclei of infected cells, hemagglutinin, and neuraminidase in the cytoplasm; virus maturation occurs during budding of the cell membrane. Influenza virus types A and B are subject to mutation resulting in epidemics. Influenza virus C differs from types A and B (for example, lacks neuraminidase) and belongs to a separate genus.
See also: Influenza virus.

Or·tho·myx·o·vir·i·dae

(ōr'thō-mik'sō-vir'i-dē) The family of viruses that comprises the three groups of influenza viruses, types A, B, and C. The only recognized genus is Influenzavirus, which comprises the strains of virus types A and B, both of which are subject to mutation resulting in epidemics. Influenza virus type C differs from types A and B somewhat and probably belongs to a separate genus.

Or·tho·myx·o·vir·i·dae
