Bromoviridae is a family of viruses.[2] Plants serve as natural hosts. There are six genera in the family.[3][4]
The following genera are assigned to the family:[3]
Structure
Viruses in the family Bromoviridae are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and bacilliform geometries. The diameter is around 26-35 nm.[3][4]
| Genus | Structure | Symmetry | Capsid | Genomic arrangement | Genomic segmentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ilarvirus | Icosahedral | T=3 | Non-enveloped | Linear | Segmented |
| Anulavirus | Icosahedral | T=3 | Non-enveloped | Linear | Segmented |
| Bromovirus | Icosahedral | T=3 | Non-enveloped | Linear | Segmented |
| Oleavirus | Icosahedral | T=1 | Non-enveloped | Linear | Segmented |
| Alfamovirus | Varies | Non-enveloped | Linear | Segmented | |
| Cucumovirus | Icosahedral | T=3 | Non-enveloped | Linear | Segmented |
Genomes are linear and segmented, tripartite.[3][4]
