Brevihamaparvovirus

Brevihamaparvovirus is a genus of viruses in subfamily Hamaparvovirinae of the family Parvoviridae.[1][2] Mosquitoes serve as natural hosts. There are currently only two species in this genus including the type species Dipteran brevihamaparvovirus 1.[3][4]

Structure

Viruses in genus Brevihamaparvovirus are non-enveloped and have T=1 icosahedral symmetry. The diameter is around 21-22 nm. Genomes are linear, around 4kb in length.[3][1]

Life cycle

Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment to host receptors, which mediates clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Replication follows the rolling-hairpin model. DNA-templated transcription, with some alternative splicing mechanism is the method of transcription. Mosquitoes serve as the natural host.[3][1]

gollark: Apparently. Or at least home breadmaking, because she did it first and is now... finding it harder to get ingredients.
gollark: Firing your pandemic response team a while before a pandemic is at least not as stupid as doing it during one.
gollark: I blame some sort of weird interaction between insurance companies, regulation/the government, consumers of healthcare services, and the companies involved in healthcare.
gollark: The US healthcare system is just really quite broken and there is probably not some individual there who's just going "MWAHAHAHA, my plan to increase the price of healthcare has succeeded, and I could easily make everything reasonable but I won't because I'm evil!", or one person who could decide to just make some stuff free right now without introducing some huge issues. It's a systemic issue.
gollark: Yes, they do have considerations other than minimizing short-term COVID-19 deaths, but that is sensible because other things do matter.
