Sedoreovirinae (sedo = smooth) was a subfamily of the Reoviridae family of viruses. Viruses in this subfamily are distinguished by the absence of a turreted protein on the inner capsid to produce a smooth surface.
Characteristics
Like other members of the Reoviridae family, viruses of the Sedoreovirinae subfamily are made of naked, icosahedral capsids containing 10-12 segments of linear double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The Baltimore System of viral classification categorizes Reoviridae in Group III.
Importance
Viruses classified in the Sedoreovirinae 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.
Viruses
= Genus Cardoreovirus
=Eriocheir sinensis reovirus was isolated out of a Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). No currently known associated disease.
= Genus Mimoreovirus
=Microsomonas pusilla reovirus was isolated from the marine protist Micromonas pusilla
= Genus Orbivirus
=Arboviruses containing dsRNA are placed in this genus. Some Orbivirus infect livestock with high rates of morbidity and mortality.
Includes: Bluetongue virus, African horse sickness virus, Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus, among others.
= Genus Phytoreovirus
=Known phytoreoviruses are plant pathogens causing dwarfism and the formation of tumors.
Included: Rice dwarf virus, Rice gall dwarf virus, and Wound tumor virus.
= Genus Rotavirus
=Rotavirus A-E cause infantile gastroenteritis in humans and farm animals.
= Genus Seadornavirus
=Many known Seadornaviruses cause encephalitis in humans.
Included: Banna virus, Kadipiro virus, and Liao ning virus.
