Avihepadnavirus
Virus classification Edit this classification
(unranked): Virus

Class: Revtraviricetes
Order: Blubervirales
Family: Hepadnaviridae
Genus: Avihepadnavirus
Species

Avihepadnavirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Hepadnaviridae.[1] Birds serve as natural hosts. There are three species in this genus.[1] Diseases associated with this genus include: hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinomas (chronic infections), and cirrhosis.[2][3]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The genus contains the following species:[4]

Structure

[edit]

Viruses in the genus Avihepadnavirus are enveloped, with spherical geometries, and T=4 symmetry. The diameter is around 42 nm. Genomes are circular, around 3.2kb in length. The genome codes for 7 proteins.[1][2]

Life cycle

[edit]

Viral replication is nucleo-cytoplasmic. Replication follows the dsDNA(RT) replication model. DNA-templated transcription, specifically dsDNA-RT transcription, with some alternative splicing mechanism is the method of transcription. Translation takes place by ribosomal shunting. The virus exits the host cell by budding, and nuclear pore export. Birds serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are parental, sexual, and blood.[1][2]
