|---|---|
| Virus classification | |
| Group: | Group V ((−)ssRNA)
|
| Family: | Ophioviridae
|
| Genus: | Ophiovirus
|
The viral genus Ophiovirus is characterized by an elongated and highly filamentous and flexible nucleocapsid with helical symmetry.
The virus capsid is unenveloped and has a constant diameter of 1500-2500 nm and a width of 3 nm, or 9 nm. The capsids form kinked circles, which can collapse to form linear duplex structures, much like a spring.
The entire genome is 1100-1200 nucleotides long[1].
The best studied species under this genus is the Citrus psorosis virus.
