The seadornavirus genome consists of 12 segments of dsRNA. During replication, virions are found in the cell cytoplasm. Viruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by mosquito vectors.
Phytoreovirus particles have icosahedral symmetry with a distinctive angular appearance and contain 12 dsRNA species. They are transmitted by cicadellid leafhoppers to susceptible plant species, replicating in both hosts and vectors.
