Solenopsis invicta virus 1 (SINV-1, SINV2, SINV-3)
A Viral Biorealm page on the family Engelbrechte
Baltimore Classification
<Viruses; (+) ssRNA virus, Dicistroviridae>
Higher order categories
Description and Significance
Genome Structure
<The genome of SINV-1 includes a 5' UTR, two ORFs, a 3' UTR and poly A tail (as determined by Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends). ORF1 encodes helicase, cysteine protease, and RdRp. ORF2 encodes capsid proteins. RdRp homology with KBV (Kashmir bee virus), Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), and Taura syndrome virus > >
Virion Structure of a ______virus
Reproductive Cycle of a ______virus in a Host Cell
<While the surface protein(s) that SINV-1 binds are unknown, electron microscopy of S. invicta workers and larval gut revealed the presence of SINV-1 virus particles with a diameter of 30-35 nm. >
Viral Ecology & Pathology
<Late-instar S. invicta digest all solid food for the colony and redistribute it as liquid to nestmates. In this way, larvae serve as both a replication site and passage fir SINV-1 colonial propagation. Experiments using Real-time PCR demonstrate that SINV-1 exists primarily in the midgut of S. invicta. >
