Reovirus
reovirus[′rē·ō‚vī·rəs] (virology) A group of ribonucleic acid-containing animal viruses, including agents of encephalitis and phlebotomus fever. Reovirus a group of RNA viruses isolated from man, mammals, and birds. The virus particle is 60-90 nanometers in diameter. The outer membrane (capsid), which protects the inner capsid with double-stranded ribonucleic acid, consists of protein subunits (capsomers). Reoviruses contain the enzyme RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. They multiply in cytoplasm. Since the pathogenicity of reoviruses for man and animals has not been consistently demonstrated, the viruses are viewed as potentially pathogenic. The reoviruses also include the viruses of rice dwarf, of wound plant tumors, and of cytoplasmic polyhedral disease of insects. reovirus
reovirus [re´o-vi″rus] any member of a family of ether-resistant RNA viruses isolated from healthy children, children with febrile and afebrile upper respiratory disease, children with diarrhea, and many animals.Re·o·vi·rus (rē'ō-vī'rŭs), A genus of viruses now currently called Orthoreovirus (family Reoviridae) that are 80 nm in diameter, with distinct double layers of capsomeres, and have vertebrates as hosts; they have been recovered from children with upper respiratory tract infections, mild fever, and sometimes diarrhea, and from children with no apparent infection; from chimpanzees with coryza; monkeys, mice; and cattle feces. There are three antigenically distinct human types related by a common complement-fixing antigen and at least 12 avian orthoreoviruses.reovirus (rē′ō-vī′rəs)n. pl. reovi·ruses Any of a family of viruses that contain double-stranded RNA and are associated with various diseases in animals, including human respiratory and gastrointestinal infections.reovirus A family of non-enveloped, double-stranded RNA viruses Members Orthoreovirus, orbivirus, rotavirus Disease Generally asymptomatic, ±gastroenteritis, rhinopharyngitis, ±hepatitis, encephalitis, pneumonia, Colorado tick fever.
