Virus classification
Group:	Group III (dsRNA)
Family:	Birnaviridae
Genus:	Entomobirnavirus
Type Species
Drosophila X virus

Entomobirnavirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Birnaviridae. Drosophila melanogaster serve as natural hosts. There is currently only one species in this genus: the type species Drosophila X virus. ^[1]^[2]

Structure

Viruses in Entomobirnavirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and Single-shelled geometries, and T=13 symmetry. The diameter is around 70 nm. Genomes are linear and segmented, around 15.3.2-3.5kb in length. The genome codes for 5 proteins.^[1]

Genus	Structure	Symmetry	Capsid	Genomic Arrangement	Genomic Segmentation
Entomobirnavirus	Icosahedral	T=13	Non-Enveloped	Linear	Segmented

Life Cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded rna virus transcription is the method of transcription. Drosophila melanogaster serve as the natural host.^[1]
