As rhabdovirus ( Greek. : Rhabdos - rod) is defined as the virus of the family Rhabdoviridae . Members of this family have vertebrates , insects or plants as hosts . All these viruses are enveloped single (-) - strand RNA viruses = ss (-) RNA, mostly rod-shaped, cylindrical in shape.

features

The outer shell of rhabdoviruses consists of protein molecules, which are usually provided with small hairs. The hairs are used by the virus to penetrate the cells, which is presumably done through endocytosis. The core of rhabdoviruses consists of a minus-RNA strand (complementary to the mRNA).

Systematics

According to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), the family consists of the following genera as of March 2019:

  • Family: Rhabdoviridae
  • Species Puerto Almendras almendravirus (type)
  • Species Xingshan alphanemrhavirus (type)
  • Species Lepeophtheirus caligrhavirus (type)
  • Species Curionopolis curiovirus (type)
  • Species Lettuce necrotic yellows cytorhabdovirus (type)
  • Species Orchid fleck dichorhavirus (type)
  • Species Bovine fever ephemerovirus (type)
  • Species Flanders hapavirus (type)
  • Species Le Dantec ledantevirus (type)
  • Species Piscine novirhabdovirus ( Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus , Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus , VHSV, Egtved virus , Oncorhynchus 2 novirhabdovirus )
  • Species Salmonid novirhabdovirus ( Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus , IHNV, type)
  • Species Potato yellow dwarf nucleorhabdovirus (type)
  • Species Perch perhabdovirus (type)
  • Species Drosophila melanogaster sigmavirus (type)
  • Species Carp sprivivirus (type)
  • Species Niakha sripuvirus (type)
  • Species Durham tupavirus (type)
  • Species Tupaia tupavirus
  • without assigned genus:

Note: In addition to the type species, only a selection of other species is listed.

The rhabdoviruses include u. a. the most important genera for humans, the vesiculoviruses and the lyssaviruses .

Vesiculoviruses

Vesiculoviruses include the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV, officially Indiana vesiculovirus ), which causes vesicular stomatitis (inflammation of the oral mucosa with blistering) in animals and which can also be transmitted to humans.

Lyssaviruses

Lyssaviruses include rabies virus , which causes rabies in animals and humans , the Australian bat lyssavirus , the Duvenhage virus , two European bat lyssaviruses , the Lagos bat virus , and the mokola virus . The viruses usually have either a spiral or cubic symmetry, while lyssaviruses have a spiral symmetry , ie their contagious particles are roughly cylindrical in shape. This is actually typical of viruses that attack plants. Viruses infesting humans are generally more cubic and assume shapes that approximate regular polyhedra .
