In this article we will discuss about the structure of reoviruses (explained with diagram). Non-enveloped, icosahedral virion with a double capsid structure (e.g. rotavirus and orthoreovirus) where iuter capsid has an icosahedral T=13 symmetry, and inner capsid an icosahedral 7=2 symmetry. The outer capsid is positioned upon the virion in such a way that the […]

In this article we will discuss about the replication of reoviruses. The virus can enter the host cell via a receptor on the cell surface. The receptor is not known but is thought to include sialic acid (haeinagglutination, broad cell tropism), and junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs). Virus particles are internalized and partially uncoated by proteases […]
