Members of the
Reoviridae family are double-stranded RNA viruses with only two arboviruses in this family affecting humans--Banna virus and Coltivirus.
Rotavirus (RV), a double-stranded RNA virus in the family
Reoviridae, is one of the most frequent causes of acute diarrhea in infants and children worldwide [3].
It is caused by bluetongue virus (BTV) of genus Orbivirus and family
Reoviridae. The disease, transmitted by Culicoides (biting midges), was first reported in India in 1964 [134].
Segundo esse criterio, a maioria dos arbovirus atualmente registrados encontra-se distribuida dentro de seis familias: Bunyaviridae, Flaviviridae,
Reoviridae, Rhabdoviridae, Togaviridae e Asfaviridae (5).
Los rotavirus, pertenecientes a la familia
Reoviridae, son los principales agentes causales de diarrea aguda y deshidratante que afecta a los infantes menores de 5 anos y animales jovenes (Esposito et al., 2011).
Naked viruses cause diseases such as the common cold (picornaviridae and adenoviridae), warts (papillomaviridae) and rotavirus (
reoviridae).
Los rotavirus (RV), virus con genoma de ARN de doble cadena segmentado, 70 nm de diametro y pertenecientes a la familia
Reoviridae, constituyen los agentes etiologicos virales mayormente asociados con diarrea severa en ninos menores de 5 anos.
Rotavirus belongs to the family
Reoviridae, subfamily Sedoreovirinae, and its genome consists of 11 segments of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which encode six structural proteins (VP1, VP2, VP3, VP4, VP6, and VP7) and six nonstructural proteins (NSP1-NSP6), with all genes being monocistronic except for segment 11 which encodes two proteins, NSP5 and NSP6 [6].
Rotaviruses are members of the
Reoviridae family, genus Rotavirus (ICTV, 2009), possessing a non-enveloped particle measuring 80 nm of diameter which contain a genome consisting of 11 segments of double-stranded RNA (ICTV, 2006).
