Virion Structure of a Rudivirus
Rudivirus virions consist of a capsid. The capsid is a non-enveloped, elongated, rigid rod shape which exhibits icosahedral symmetry. The virion particles are 600-900 nm in length and 23 nm in width. Rudivirus virions resemble some RNA plant virus virions. (sources: ICTVdB, Ortmann et al.)
