Ferlavirus

Ferlavirus is a genus of viruses in the family Paramyxoviridae, order Mononegavirales.[2][3] Reptiles serve as natural hosts. There is currently only one species in this genus (Reptilian ferlavirus) to accommodate a single virus, Fer-de-Lance virus (FDLV).[4]

Structure

Ferlaviruses produce virions that are enveloped, with spherical geometries. The virion diameter is around 150 nm. Ferlavirus are linear and around 15 kb in length. The genome codes for 8 proteins.[5]

Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by virus attaches to host cell. Replication follows the negative stranded RNA virus replication model. Negative stranded RNA virus transcription, using polymerase stuttering is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by budding. Reptiles serve as the natural host.[5]

gollark: Wait, it actually does work with an underscore? Hmm. DNS is more permissive than I had thought. This may permit [REDACTED, THEN REDACTED AGAIN, THEN UNREDACTED, THEN EXPUNGED].
gollark: It's awful-server with a hyphen, bee.
gollark: The convenient thing for data sending™ purposes is that if you make a DNS query for something, resolvers will probably eventually forward it to the appropriate server even on internal networks and such.
gollark: Well, you occasionally learn things from GTech™ cognitohazard exposure, as they say.
gollark: Yep!
