  • Title: Diversity and classification of reoviruses in crustaceans: A proposal.
    Author: Zhao M, Dos Santos Tavares CP, Schott EJ.
    Journal: J Invertebr Pathol; 2021 Jun; 182():107568. PubMed ID: 33711318.
    Abstract:
    A variety of reoviruses have been described in crustacean hosts, including shrimp, crayfish, prawn, and especially in crabs. However, only one genus of crustacean reovirus - Cardoreovirus - has been formally recognized by ICTV (International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses) and most crustacean reoviruses remain unclassified. This arises in part from ambiguous or incomplete information on which to categorize them. In recent years, increased availability of crustacean reovirus genomic sequences is making the discovery and classification of crustacean reoviruses faster and more certain. This minireview describes the properties of the reoviruses infecting crustaceans and suggests an overall classification of brachyuran crustacean reoviruses based on a combination of morphology, host, genome organization pattern and phylogenetic sequence analysis.
