ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Discoviridae 2023

J Gen Virol. 2023 Dec;104(12):001926. doi: 10.1099/jgv.0.001926.

Abstract

Discoviridae is a family of negative-sense RNA viruses with genomes of 6.2-9.7 kb that have been associated with fungi and stramenopiles. The discovirid genome consists of three monocistronic RNA segments with open reading frames (ORFs) that encode a nucleoprotein (NP), a nonstructural protein (Ns), and a large (L) protein containing an RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) domain. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Discoviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/discoviridae.

Keywords: Discoviridae; ICTV Report; orthodiscovirus; taxonomy.
