Patent Granted Reoviridae is a family of viruses that can affect the gastrointestinal system (such as Rotavirus) and respiratory tract. Viruses in the family Reoviridae have genomes consisting of segmented, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA).[1] The name "Reo-" is derived from respiratory enteric orphan viruses.[2] The term "orphan virus" refers to the fact that some of these viruses have been observed not associated with any known disease.
