==Structure==
Viruses in the genus ''Entomobirnavirus'' are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and single-shelled geometries, and T=13 symmetry. The diameter is around 70&nbsp;nm. Genomes are linear and segmented, around 15.3.2-3.5kb in length. The genome codes for 5 proteins.<ref name= ICTV/><ref name=ViralZone />

==Life cycle==
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the double-stranded RNA virus replication model. Double-stranded rna virus transcription is the method of transcription. Drosophila melanogaster serve as the natural host.<ref name= ICTV/><ref name=ViralZone />
