Description
<jats:p>The <jats:italic>Partitiviridae</jats:italic> is a family of small, isometric, non-enveloped viruses with bisegmented double-stranded (ds) RNA genomes of 3–4.8 kbp. The two genome segments are individually encapsidated. The family has five genera, with characteristic hosts for members of each genus: either plants or fungi for genera <jats:italic>Alphapartitivirus</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Betapartitivirus</jats:italic>, fungi for genus <jats:italic>Gammapartitivirus</jats:italic>, plants for genus <jats:italic>Deltapartitivirus</jats:italic> and protozoa for genus <jats:italic>Cryspovirus</jats:italic>. Partitiviruses are transmitted intracellularly via seeds (plants), oocysts (protozoa) or hyphal anastomosis, cell division and sporogenesis (fungi); there are no known natural vectors. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the taxonomy of the <jats:italic>Partitiviridae</jats:italic>, which is available at <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="www.ictv.global/report/partitiviridae">www.ictv.global/report/partitiviridae</jats:ext-link>.</jats:p>
