Colorado tick fever virus is a member of the family, Reoviridae, and the genus, Orbivirus. The genomes of the member viruses of the five genera of the family Reoviridae are segmented, double-stranded (ds) RNA, and the number of segments is 10 to 12 depending on the genus. In general, orbiviruses have 10 segments of dsRNA. Colorado tick fever virus is a novel member of the genus because its genome is comprised of 12 segments of dsRNA.
