Sedoreovirinae (sedo = smooth) was a subfamily of theReoviridae family of viruses.[1] Viruses in this subfamily are distinguished by the absence of a turreted protein on the innercapsid to produce a smooth surface.[2]
Like other members of theReoviridae family, viruses of theSedoreovirinae subfamily are made of naked, icosahedral capsids containing 10-12 segments of linear double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The Baltimore System of viral classification categorizesReoviridae in Group III.
Viruses classified in theSedoreovirinae subfamily infect a wide range of plants and animals, including some that can infect humans. There is not only the potential of a few of these viruses to cause human disease, but also to reduce the supply of crops and livestock.
Eriocheir sinensis reovirus was isolated out of a Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). No currently known associated disease.[3]
Microsomonas pusilla reovirus was isolated from the marine protistMicromonas pusilla[4]
Arboviruses containing dsRNA are placed in this genus. SomeOrbivirus infect livestock with high rates of morbidity and mortality.[5] Includes:Bluetongue virus,African horse sickness virus,Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus, among others.
Knownphytoreoviruses are plant pathogens causing dwarfism and the formation of tumors.[6] Included:Rice dwarf virus,Rice gall dwarf virus, andWound tumor virus.
Rotavirus A-E cause infantile gastroenteritis in humans and farm animals.[7]
Many knownSeadornaviruses cause encephalitis in humans.Included:Banna virus,Kadipiro virus, andLiao ning virus.[8]
