=Introduction=
Reoviridae include rotaviruses and orbiviruses, such as African Horse Sickness and Bluetongue. Pathogenesis ranges from acute alimentary infections to infections of the vascular endothelium. "REO" stands for "Respiratory-Enteric-Orphan."
=Morphology=
*All are non-enveloped dsRNA viruses
*Spherical and medium-sized with characteristic appearances
*Segmented genome, with each segment encoding a separate viral protein
=Virulence and Pathogenesis=
*Reoviridae are '''resistant''' viruses that can persist in the environment for several weeks
=Epidemiology=
*Many reoviruses infect domestic animals without causing disease
*They have been implicated in stunting syndrome of chickens
