Mycoreovirus Reovirus infection occurs often in humans, but most cases are mild or subclinical. The virus can be readily detected in feces, and may also be recovered from pharyngeal or nasal secretions, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood. Despite the ease of finding Reovirus in clinical specimens, their role in human disease or treatment is still uncertain. Reoviruses are non-enveloped and have an icosahedral capsid (T-13) composed of an outer and inner protein shell. The genomes of viruses in Reoviridae contain 10-12 segments which are grouped into three categories corresponding to their size L (large), M (medium) and S (small). Segments range from ~ 3.9 kbp – 1kbp [1] and each segment encodes 1-3 proteins. Reoviridae proteins are denoted by the Greek character corresponding to the segment it was translated from (the L segment encodes for ? proteins, the M segment encodes for µ proteins and the S segment encodes for s proteins).
