Abstract
The project will increase the available sequence data for the family Reoviridae, making it possible to identify the viruses directly from RNA sequences, without multiple serological assay systems and expensive standardised diagnostic reagents. The project will also generate sequence data for the conserved genome segments of those Orbivirus species that are currently either uncharacterised or unclassified. The project will develop improved serological and PCR based assay systems for detection and identification of different coltiviruses, seadornaviruses, aquareoviruses and individual orbivirus species. The project will also develop reference collections for the genera Orbivirus, Aquareovirus, Coliivirus, Seadornavirus (as well as new or currently unclassified viruses).
