Globuloviridae is a family of viruses. Pyrobaculum and thermoproteus archaea serve as natural hosts. There are currently only two species in this family, divided among 1 genera (Globulovirus).[1][2]
Taxonomy[edit]
Group: dsDNA
Order: Unassigned
-
Family: Globuloviridae
-
Genus: Globulovirus
-
Structure[edit]
Viruses in Globuloviridae are enveloped, with spherical geometries. The diameter is around 100 nm. Genomes are linear and non-segmented, around 20-30kb in length.[1]
| Genus | Structure | Symmetry | Capsid | Genomic Arrangement | Genomic Segmentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Globulovirus | Spherical | Enveloped | Circular | Monopartite |
Life Cycle[edit]
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Dna templated transcription is the method of transcription. Pyrobaculum and thermoproteus archaea serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are passive diffusion.[1]
| Genus | Host Details | Tissue Tropism | Entry Details | Release Details | Replication Site | Assembly Site | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Globulovirus | Pyrobaculum and Thermoproteus archaea | None | Injection | Budding | Cytoplasm | Cytoplasm | Passive diffusion |
