Structure
Virions consist of a non-enveloped rod-shaped capsid, having a helical symmetry of 120âÂÂ360 nm in length, and a width of 18âÂÂ30 nm.
Genome
The genome consists of a bi-segmented linear, single-stranded negative sense RNA. The first segment is about 6350âÂÂ7000 nucleotides in length; the second, about 5630âÂÂ6500 nucleotides in length.
