Reoviridae

This negatively-stained transmission electron micrograph (TEM) revealed the presence of numerous Reovirus type-3 virions. This virus organism is a member of the family, Reoviridae, genera of which include the Coltivirus, i.e., Colorado tick fever, Orbivirus, i.e., bluetongue virus, and Orthoreovius, within which belong these virions.Created: 1975

This transmission electron micrograph (TEM) revealed some of the morphologic details displayed by the Colorado tick fever virus (CTFV), a member of the genus Coltivirus, one of nine genera of the virus family known as the Reoviridae. Coltivirus particles are ˜80 nm in diameter and have a core ˜50 nm in diameter. Electron microscopic studies have shown particles with a relatively smooth capsomeric surface structure, and icosahedral symmetry.Created: 1975
