are pleomorphic and measure 120−140 nm in diameter
Toroviruses
are enveloped with a tubular nucleocapsid of helical symmetry
Toroviruses
The nucleocapsid forms a doughnut-shaped structure and the envelope contains a large number of small spikes (15−20 nm) that resemble the peplomeres of coronaviruses
Toroviruses
Toroviruses nucleocapsid shape
doughnut-shaped
the envelopeof this virus contains a
large number of small spikes (15−20 nm) that resemble the peplomeres of coronaviruses
Toroviruses
Torovirus particles consist of at least four structural proteins:
ENUMERATE
- nucleocapsid protein (N)
- unglycosylated membrane protein (M)
- spike glycoprotein (S)
- HE protein
The torovirus genome consists of a polyadenylated, positive-sense, linear molecule of ssRNA, which is estimated to be 20–30 kb in length.
torovirus infectivity is stable between this pH
pH 2.5 and 9.7
torovirus is rapidly inactivated by
heat
organic solvents
irradiation
