Bunyavirales: Difference between revisions

Bunyavirus [[morphology (biology)|morphology]] is somewhat similar to that of the ''[[Paramyxoviridae]]'' family; ''Bunyavirales'' form enveloped, spherical virions with diameters of 80–120 [[nanometer|nm]]. These viruses contain no matrix proteins.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bunyaviridae - Negative Sense RNA Viruses - Negative Sense RNA Viruses (2011)|url=https://ictv.global/report/chapter/peribunyaviridae|access-date=2020-09-08|website=International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV)|language=en}}</ref>. Instead, the viral surface glycoproteins which form a continuous layer on the virion surface are thought to play a role in the formation of new virions by budding from a cell membrane.<ref name="pmid20219926">{{cite journal| author=Huiskonen JT, Hepojoki J, Laurinmäki P, Vaheri A, Lankinen H, Butcher SJ | display-authors=etal| title=Electron cryotomography of Tula hantavirus suggests a unique assembly paradigm for enveloped viruses. | journal=J Virol | year= 2010 | volume= 84 | issue= 10 | pages= 4889-97 | pmid=20219926 | doi=10.1128/JVI.00057-10 | pmc=2863824 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=20219926 }} </ref>
