Okavirus is a genus of enveloped
penaeid shrimp. There are three species in this genus.[1]
Structure
Viruses in the genus Okavirus are enveloped, with bacilliform geometries, and helical symmetry. The diameter is around 20–30 nm.[1][3]
Genome
Genomes are linear and non-segmented, around 26 kb in length.[1][3]
Life cycle
Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis. Replication follows the positive stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. Crustaceans and mostly prawns serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are ingestion.[1][3]
Taxonomy
The genus contains one subgenus with three species:[4]
- Tipravirus
- Gill-associated virus
- Okavirus 1
- Yellow head virus
