| has gloss | (noun) an arbovirus of the family Togaviridae that can cause a variety of encephalitis in horses alphavirus |
| has gloss | eng: In biology and immunology, an alphavirus belongs to the group IV Togaviridae family of viruses, according to the system of classification based on viral genome composition introduced by David Baltimore in 1971. Alphaviruses, like all other group IV viruses have a positive sense single stranded RNA genome. There are 27 alphaviruses, able to infect various vertebrates such as humans, rodents, birds, and larger mammals such as horses as well as invertebrates. Transmission between species and individuals occurs via mosquitoes making the alphaviruses a contributor to the collection of Arboviruses – or Arthropod Borne Viruses. Alphaviruses particles are enveloped have a 70 nm diameter, tend to be spherical (although slightly pleomorphic), and have a 40 nm isometric nucleocapsid. |

| has gloss | fra: En termes de biologie et d’immunologie, les alphavirus appartiennent au groupe IV des virus et à la famille des togaviridae, selon le système de classification basé sur la composition du génome viral présenté par David Baltimore en 1971. Les Alphavirus, comme tous les autres virus du groupe IV ont un génome constitué d’un seul brin d’ARN à polarité positive. Il existe 27 alphavirus, capables d'infecter divers vertébrés comme les humains, les rongeurs, les oiseaux et les grands mammifères tels que les chevaux ainsi que les invertébrés. La transmission entre individus et entre espèces se fait par l’intermédiaire des moustiques ce qui permet de ranger les alphavirus dans le groupe des arbovirus - ou Arthropodes Virus Borne. Les particules d’Alphavirus sont enveloppée et ont un diamètre de 70 nm, presque sphériques (bien que légèrement Pleomorphe), et possèdent une nucléocapside isométrique de 40 nm. |
