Type Species
Musca hytrovirus

Muscavirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Hytrosaviridae. Musca domestica serve as natural hosts. There is currently only one species in this genus: the type species Musca hytrovirus. Diseases associated with this genus include: salivary gland hypertrophy, and complete sterility of infected female flies by inhibiting eggs development.^[1]^[2]

Structure

Viruses in Muscavirus are enveloped, with rod-shaped geometries. The diameter is around 50 nm. Genomes are circular, around 124kb in length. The genome has 108 open reading frames.^[1]

Life Cycle

Viral replication is nuclear. DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. Musca domestica serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are parental and contamination.^[1]
