Fijivirus is a genus of double-stranded RNA viruses in the family Reoviridae and subfamily Spinareovirinae.

[1][2] Fijivirus genome composition contains ten linear double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and is carried within virus particles referred to as virions.

The positive RNAs become enclosed within the virion, and then are transcribed to give RNA molecules.

Mature virions are released following cell death and the breakdown of the affected hosts plasma membrane.

[1] If the presence of a gall appears, usually located on specific parts of the plant, it can represent the first sign of the virus (Pearson 2004).
