No details are available on the morphology of 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.
No details are available on the morphology of virions.
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).
No surface morphology is visible by EM.
The genus is distinguished on the basis of genetic characters.
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.
