Rhizidiovirus

Rhizidiovirus is a genus of viruses. Stramenopiles (specifically Hyphochytridiomycota) serve as natural hosts. There is only one species in this genus: Rhizidiomyces virus.

Viruses in Rhizidiovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral, round, and isometric geometries. The diameter is around 60 nm.

The genome is non segmented, linear double stranded DNA (dsDNA) and ~25.5 kilobases in length. It encodes at least 14 protein with molecular weights between 84.5 and 26 kilodaltons.

The virus seems to remain latent within the host until the host is stressed.

DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. Fungi and hyphochytridiomycota serve as the natural host.
