Taxonomy
Group: dsRNA
Structure
Viruses in Quadriviridae are non-enveloped. The diameter is around 48 nm. Genomes are linear and segmented, around 16.8kb in length. The genome codes for 4 proteins.
Life Cycle
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. Fungi serve as the natural host.
