Nyavirus (taxid:1513295)

VIRION

image

Enveloped, spherical. Diameter from 100 to 130nm.

GENOME

Negative-stranded RNA linear genome, about 11.6 kb in size. Encodes for six proteins.

GENE EXPRESSION

The viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase binds the encapsidated genome at the leader region, then sequentially transcribes each genes by recognizing start and stop signals flanking viral genes.

ENZYMES

REPLICATION

CYTOPLASM

  1. Attachement of the viral glycoproteins to host receptors.
  2. Fusion of virus membrane with the vesicle membrane.
  3. Sequential transcription.
  4. Replication .
  5. Cytoplasmic ribo-nucleocapsids buds out of the cell,releasing new virions.
