Turriviridae
Virus classification
Group:
Group I (dsDNA)
Family:
Turriviridae
Type Species

Turriviridae is a family of viruses. Sulfolobus solfataricus serve as natural hosts. There are currently only two species in this family, divided among 1 genera. [1][2]

Taxonomy

Group: dsDNA

Order: Unassigned
  • Family: Turriviridae
    • Genus: Alphaturrivirus

[2]

Structure

Viruses in Turriviridae have icosahedral geometries, and T=31 symmetry. The diameter is around 74 nm. Genomes are linear.[1]

Genus Structure Symmetry Capsid Genomic Arrangement Genomic Segmentation
Alphaturrivirus Icosahedral T=31 Linear

Life Cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by adsorption into the host cell. DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. Sulfolobus solfataricus serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are passive diffusion.[1]
