Bluetongue virus non-structural protein 1 is a positive regulator of viral protein synthesis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus of the Reoviridae family, which encodes its genes in ten linear dsRNA segments.

The Egyptian rousette bat (ERB) is the only known Marburg virus (MARV) reservoir host. ERBs develop a productive MARV infection with low viremia and shedding but no overt disease, suggesting this virus is efficiently controlled by ERB antiviral responses.

Subcellular distribution of the rAAV genome depends on genome structure
Many studies have been conducted on the transduction efficiency of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) depending on the serotype and genome structure, such as single-stranded (ss) and self-complementary (sc).

Telomeres and Viruses: Common Themes of Genome Maintenance
Genome maintenance mechanisms actively suppress genetic instability associated with cancer and aging. Some viruses provoke genetic instability by subverting the host’s control of genome maintenance.

The small genome segment of Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus harbours a single transcription-termination signal [PDF]
Transcription termination of the mRNA produced from the small (S) genome segment of Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus (BUNV) has previously been mapped to two cis-acting sequences located within the 5′ UTR using a virus-free replication assay.
