| broome virus, a new fusogenic orthoreovirus species isolated from an australian fruit bat. | this report describes the discovery and characterization of a new fusogenic orthoreovirus, broome virus (brov), isolated from a little red flying-fox (pteropus scapulatus). the brov genome consists of 10 dsrna segments, each having a 3' terminal pentanucleotide sequence conserved amongst all members of the genus orthoreovirus, and a unique 5' terminal pentanucleotide sequence. the smallest genome segment is bicistronic and encodes two small nonstructural proteins, one of which is a novel fusion ... | 2010 | 20350736 |
