Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) reveals some of the morphologic details displayed by the Irituia strain of the Changuinola virus, a member of the genus, Orbiviruses, which is one of nine genera of the virus family known as the Reoviridae. The Changuinola virus inhabits Panama and northern South America. The Irituia virion, consists of a capsid, which is not enveloped, and which is spherical in shape, 60-80nm in diameter. The core consists of ten segments of double-stranded RNA. The Irituia virus has been classified as a Biosafety Level-2 pathogen. As an arbovirus, Changuinola virus is s
