Sedoreoviridae (sedo = smooth) is a family of the Reovirales order of viruses. [1] Viruses in this family are distinguished by the absence of a turreted protein on the inner capsid to produce a smooth surface. [2]

Contents

Taxonomy

The family contains the following genera: [1]

Characteristics

Like other members of the Reovirales order, viruses of the Sedoreoviridae family are made of naked, icosahedral capsids containing 10-12 segments of linear double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The Baltimore System of viral classification categorizes Reovirales in Group III.

Importance

Viruses classified in the Sedoreoviridae family infect a wide range of plants and animals, including some that can infect humans. There is not only the potential of a few of these viruses to cause human disease, but also to reduce the supply of crops and livestock.

Genus Cardoreovirus

Eriocheir sinensis reovirus was isolated out of a Chinese mitten crab ( Eriocheir sinensis ). No currently known associated disease. [3]

Genus Mimoreovirus

Microsomonas pusilla reovirus was isolated from the marine protist Micromonas pusilla . [4]

Genus Orbivirus

Some Orbivirus infect livestock with high rates of morbidity and mortality. [5] Includes: Bluetongue virus, African horse sickness virus, Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus, among others.

Genus Phytoreovirus

Known phytoreoviruses are plant pathogens causing dwarfism and the formation of tumors. [6] Included: Rice dwarf virus, Rice gall dwarf virus, and Wound tumor virus.

Genus Rotavirus

Rotavirus A-E cause infantile gastroenteritis in humans and farm animals. [7]

Genus Seadornavirus

Many known Seadornaviruses cause encephalitis in humans. Included: Banna virus, Kadipiro virus, and Liao ning virus. [8]
