Alphachrysovirus is a genus of double-stranded RNA viruses. It is one of two genera in the family Chrysoviridae.{{cite journal |last1=Kotta-Loizou |first1=I |last2=Castón |first2=JR |last3=Coutts |first3=RHA |last4=Hillman |first4=BI |last5=Jiang |first5=D |last6=Kim |first6=DH |last7=Moriyama |first7=H |last8=Suzuki |first8=N |last9=ICTV Report Consortium |title=ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Chrysoviridae. |journal=The Journal of General Virology |date=February 2020 |volume=101 |issue=2 |pages=143–144 |doi=10.1099/jgv.0.001383 |pmid=31958044|pmc=7414429 }} They infect fungi, in particular Penicillium. Their name is derived from the Greek word chrysos which means yellow-green. There are 20 species in this genus.{{cite web|title=ICTV Report Chrysoviridae|url=http://www.ictv.global/report/chrysoviridae}}{{cite web|title=Viral Zone|url=http://viralzone.expasy.org/all_by_species/587.html|publisher=ExPASy|access-date=15 June 2015}}
Structure
Genome
Life cycle
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by cell to cell movement. Fungi serve as the natural host.
