Betabaculovirus

Betabaculovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Baculoviridae. Arthropods serve as natural hosts. There are currently 26 species in this genus including the type species Cydia pomonella granulovirus.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Group: dsDNA

Structure

Viruses in Betabaculovirus are enveloped. Genomes are circular, around 80-180kb in length. The genome codes for 100 to 180 proteins.[2]

Life cycle

Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the viral glycoproteins to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis. Replication follows the dsDNA bidirectional replication model. Dna templated transcription, with some alternative splicing mechanism is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by nuclear pore export, and existing in occlusion bodies after cell death and remaining infectious until finding another host. Arthropods serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are fecal-oral.[2]

gollark: Though websites being bloated messes packed with inefficient programming, JS all the time for no reason, and ads doesn't help. My site is optimized for load speed, and I got core stuff down to about 20kB a page and do aggressive service worker caching, but most sites do *not* do this.
gollark: Web standards are insanely complex and getting more complicated by the day as they pile on more extensions for USB and Bluetooth and WebAssembly (though I like that one) and exotic CSS features.
gollark: <@343573410531639296> Don't blame browsers for the horrible mess that is web standards. With Unicode even TEXT RENDERING is a nightmare. https://gankra.github.io/blah/text-hates-you/
gollark: The best naming scheme is obviously `openssl rand -hex 16`.
