Rotaviruses are a genus of viruses belonging to the Reoviridae family. They have a genome consisting of 11 double-stranded RNA segments surrounded by a distinctive two-layered protein capsid. Particles are 70 nm in diameter and have a buoyant density of 1.36 g/ml in CsCl. Six antigenic groups have been identified, three of which (groups A, B, and C) infect humans....

by Wikipedia - 2138 reads, based on 2 votes
Scientific classification
dsDNA viruses
Family: Poxviridae
Genus: Orthopoxvirus
Species: Variola virus
Smallpox (also known by the Latin names Variola or Variola vera) is a highly contagious disease unique to humans caused by two virus variants called Variola major and Variola minor. V. major is the more deadly form, with a typical mortality of 20-40 percent of those infected. The other type, V. minor, only kills 1% of its victims. Many survivors are left blind, and scarring is nearly universal. Smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300-500 million deaths in the 20th century. As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 15 million people contract...
