Edité par CCSD ; Microbiology Society -
International audience. The family Solemoviridae includes viruses with icosahedral particles (26–34 nm in diameter) assembled on T =3 symmetry with a 4–6 kb positive-sense, monopartite, polycistronic RNA genome. Transmission of members of the genera Sobemovirus and Polemovirus occurs via mechanical wounding, vegetative propagation, insect vectors or abiotically through soil; members of the genera Polerovirus and Enamovirus are transmitted by specific aphids. Most solemoviruses have a narrow host range. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Solemoviridae , which is available at ictv.global/report/solemoviridae .
