Reoviridae ThesaurusNoun | 1. | Reoviridae - a family of arboviruses carried by arthropodsarborvirus, arbovirus - a large heterogeneous group of RNA viruses divisible into groups on the basis of the virions; they have been recovered from arthropods, bats, and rodents; most are borne by arthropods; they are linked by the epidemiologic concept of transmission between vertebrate hosts by arthropod vectors (mosquitoes, ticks, sandflies, midges, etc.) that feed on blood; they can cause mild fevers, hepatitis, hemorrhagic fever, and encephalitisfamily - (biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera; "sharks belong to the fish family" |
Reoviridae
Reoviridae[‚rē·ə′vir·ə‚dī] (virology) A family of ribonucleic acid (RNA)-containing viruses characterized by an unenveloped icosahedral virion containing a genome of 10-12 segments (depending on the genus) of double-stranded RNA, hosts include vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants. Reoviridae
Re·o·vir·i·dae (rē'ō-vir'i-dē), A family of double-stranded RNA viruses, some of which (Reovirus) previously were included with Echoviruses, and others (Orbivirus), with arboviruses. Virions are 60-80 nm in diameter, usually naked, and ether resistant; genomes contain double-stranded, segmented RNA (MW 10-16 × 106); capsids are of icosohedral symmetry with two layers of capsomeres. The family comprises nine genera: Orthoreovirus, Orbivirus, Rotavirus, Coltivirus, Aquareovirus, cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus group (Cypovirus), and three plant reovirus groups (Phytoreovirus, Fijivirus, and Oryzavirus).
