Structure of Reoviruses (With Diagram) | Microbiology
In this article we will discuss about the structure of reoviruses (explained with diagram). Non-enveloped, icosahedral virion with a double capsid structure (e.g. rotavirus and orthoreovirus) where iuter capsid has an icosahedral T=13 symmetry, and inner capsid an icosahedral 7=2 symmetry. The outer capsid is positioned upon the virion in such a way that the capsomeres of each capsid layer [...]
