Family of viruses
Aspiviridae
, formerly
Ophioviridae
, is a family of segmented
negative-strand RNA viruses
which infect
plants
. Member viruses are characterized by an elongated and highly
filamentous
and flexible
nucleocapsid
with
helical
symmetry
.
[1]
It is a
monotypic taxon
containing only one genus,
Ophiovirus
.
[2]
Aspiviridae
is also the only family in the order
Serpentovirales
, which in turn is the only order in the class
Milneviricetes
.
[3]
History
[
edit
]
The name
Aspiviridae
derives from the
Latin
aspis
(
snake
or
viper
), referring to the shape, along with the suffix for a virus family
-viridae
.
[4]
Ophiovirus
derives from the
Ancient Greek
ophi
s, "snake", with ?
virus
the suffix for a virus genus.
[5]
Likewise,
Serpentovirales
is from "
serpent
" with
-virales
the suffix for a virus order.
[4]
Milneviricetes
is in honor of
Robert G. Milne
, the last author on the first paper describing ophioviruses.

Structure
[
edit
]
The protein
capsid
is non-
enveloped
and has a constant diameter of 1500?2500 nm and a width of 3 nm, or 9 nm. The capsids form kinked circles, which can collapse to form linear duplex structures, much like a spring.
[3]
Genome
[
edit
]
Member viruses have segmented,
negative-sense
, single-stranded RNA genomes. The entire
genome
is 11000?12000
nucleotides
long.
[3]
[7]
Taxonomy
[
edit
]
The family has one genus,
Ophiovirus
, which has seven recognized species. Members of both the family and the genus are referred to as ophioviruses.
