chlamydiamicrovirus chlamydiamicrovirus chlamydiamicrovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family microviridae, in the subfamily gokushovirinae. various species of chlamidia serve as natural hosts. there are four species in this genus. chlamydiamicrovirus virus classification (unranked): virus realm: monodnaviria kingdom: sangervirae phylum: phixviricota class: malgrandaviricetes order: petitvirales family: microviridae subfamily: gokushovirinae genus: chlamydiamicrovirus taxonomy the following species are assigned to the genus: chlamydia virus chp1 chlamydia virus chp2 chlamydia virus cpar39 chlamydia virus cpg1 structure viruses in chlamydiamicrovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and round geometries, and t=1 symmetry. the diameter is around 30 nm. genomes are circular, around 6.1kb in length. genusstructuresymmetrycapsidgenomic arrangementgenomic segmentation chlamydiamicrovirusicosahedralt=1non-envelopedcircularmonopartite life cycle viral replication is cytoplasmic. entry into the host cell is achieved by pilus-mediated adsorption into the host cell. replication follows the ssdna rolling circle model. dna-templated transcription is the method of transcription. the virus exits the host cell by bacteria lysis. various species of chlamidia serve as the natural host. transmission routes are passive diffusion. genushost detailstissue tropismentry detailsrelease detailsreplication siteassembly sitetransmission chlamydiamicrovirusenterobacteria: chlamidianonepilus adsorptionlysiscytoplasmcytoplasmpilus
