ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Sedoreoviridae 2022

Abstract

Sedoreoviridae is a large family of icosahedral viruses that are usually regarded as non-enveloped with segmented (10-12 linear segments) dsRNA genomes of 18-26 kbp. Sedoreovirids have a broad host range, infecting mammals, birds, crustaceans, arthropods, algae and plants. Some of them have important pathogenic potential for humans (e.g. rotavirus A), livestock (e.g. bluetongue virus) and plants (e.g. rice dwarf virus). This is a summary of the ICTV Report on the family Sedoreoviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/sedoreoviridae.

Keywords: ICTV Report; Reovirales; Sedoreoviridae; taxonomy.

Fig. 1.. Sedoreovirid particle structure (e.g. rotavirus A). Particles are coloured based on functional similarity (blue – core shell, green – middle layer, yellow – outer capsid, red – membrane penetration and receptor binding). (a) Subviral particle. (b) Virion. The diameter of the mature virion is roughly 80 nm (excluding spikes). Adapted from [7].
