Quadriviridae
Virus classification
Group: Group III (dsRNA)
Family: Quadriviridae

Life Cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. Fungi serve as the natural host.[1]
