The genus is distinguished on the basis of genetic characters.
No details are available on the morphology of virions.
Genome (R. Tokarz and WI Lipkin, unpublished): 7,018 nt (5′-UTR: >248 nt; ORF: 6,669 nt; 3′-UTR: 101 nt). The location of the cre has not been identified.
Genome layout:
The genus is distinguished on the basis of genetic characters. The known anativiruses lack a functional 2A protein.
No details are available on the morphology of the virions.
The genus is distinguished on the basis of genetic characters.
No details are available on the morphology of virions.
The genus is distinguished on the basis of genetic characters. The known aaliviruses have an unusual 3-8-4 genome layout (see below).
