Virus classification Edit this classification
(unranked): Virus
Class: Naldaviricetes
Order: Lefavirales
Family: Hytrosaviridae
Genus: Muscavirus

Muscavirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Hytrosaviridae.[1] The fly Musca domestica is the natural host. There is only one species in this genus: Musca domestica salivary gland hypertrophy virus (Muscavirus musdomesticae). Diseases associated with this genus include: salivary gland hypertrophy, and complete sterility of infected female flies by inhibiting eggs development.[2][3][4]

Structure

Viruses in the genus Muscavirus are enveloped, with rod-shaped geometries. The diameter is around 50 nm. Genomes are circular, around 124kb in length. The genome has 108 open reading frames.[2][3]

Muscavirus Rod-shaped Enveloped Circular Monopartite

Life cycle

Viral replication is nuclear. DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. Musca domestica serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are parental and contamination.[2][3]
