Ortervirales

Ortervirales is an order of viruses that includes six families. These families are Alphaflexiviridae, Betaflexiviridae, Deltaflexiviridae, Gammaflexiviridae, Tymoviridae, and Virgaviridae. The viruses in this order infect a variety of hosts, including plants, fungi, and insects.

Taxonomy

The order Ortervirales is divided into six families:

• Alphaflexiviridae
• Betaflexiviridae
• Deltaflexiviridae
• Gammaflexiviridae
• Tymoviridae
• Virgaviridae

Each of these families contains several genera and species of viruses.

Characteristics

Viruses in the order Ortervirales are non-enveloped and have a capsid that is rod-shaped. The genome is linear, around 5.5-9 kilobases in length, and made of single-stranded RNA. The replication of these viruses occurs in the cytoplasm of the host cell.

Hosts and Transmission

Ortervirales viruses infect a wide range of hosts, including plants, fungi, and insects. They are transmitted through various means, such as by insect vectors, through contact with infected plants, or through the soil.

Pathogenesis

The viruses in the Ortervirales order can cause a variety of diseases in their hosts. In plants, these can include leaf curling, yellowing, and stunting of growth. In insects, they can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on the specific virus and host species.
