Genus

Genus: Erbovirus

Family: Picornaviridae

Genus: Erbovirus

 

Distinguishing features

The genus is distinguished on the basis of genetic characters. The 2B and 3C proteins of erboviruses have exceptionally large chain lengths (283 and 251 aa, respectively). 

Virion

Morphology

No surface morphology is visible by EM. 

Genus

Genus: Dicipivirus

Family: Picornaviridae

Genus: Dicipivirus

 

Distinguishing features

In contrast to other picornaviruses, the genome layout of dicipiviruses exhibits two ORFs separated by an intergenic region (IGR) that functions as an IRES to translate the second ORF. The IGR-IRES shows no similarity to the equivalent region in members of the Dicistroviridae
