It is an arbovirus and has been isolated from Culex, Anopheles, Armigeres,[1] and Aedes mosquitoes in Indonesia and China.

The Kadipiro virus contains 12 segments of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) with a 21,000 base-pair genome.

The capsid is icosahedral and naked, though it does temporarily acquire a viral envelope as it buds from a host cell.

The Kadipiro virus was isolated in three mosquito genera: Culex, Anopheles and Armigeres and was grown in laboratory cultures.

No major disease resulted from infection in mice and immunological memory against a subsequent viral challenge was observed.
