Structure
Viruses in Aparavirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=pseudo3 symmetry. The diameter is around 30 nm. Genomes are linear and non-segmented. The genome has 2 open reading frames.
Life cycle
Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the positive stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. Invertebrates, honeybee, and bumblebees serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are contamination and saliva.
