Batravirus

Batravirus is a genus of viruses in the order Herpesvirales, in the family Alloherpesviridae. Frogs serve as natural hosts. There are three species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include: raHV-1: Lucké tumor (renal adenocarcinoma).^[1][2]

Species

The genus consists of the following three species:^[2]

• Batravirus ranidallo1
• Batravirus ranidallo2
• Batravirus ranidallo3

Structure

Viruses in Batravirus are enveloped, with icosahedral and spherical to pleomorphic geometries, and T=16 symmetry. The diameter is around 150-200 nm. Genomes are linear and non-segmented, around 220-231kb in length.^[1]

Life cycle

Viral replication is nuclear, and is lysogenic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the viral glycoproteins to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis. DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. Frogs serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are passive diffusion.^[1]
