Alphaviruses (genus Alphaviridae in the family Togaviridae) are positive-stranded RNA viruses with a nucleocapsid of eicosahedral symmetry and a lipid envelope carrying glycoprotein spikes. The viral genome is a single 11.5 - 11.8 kb RNA strand that has a 5 cap structure and 3 poly-A tail. The replication cycle in vertebrate cells involves entry into the host cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis, translation of the RNA to form the replicase proteins and successive transcription of RNAs with both polarities, production of structural proteins and packaging of the material into newly formed virions. Even though the genus includes emerging pathogens such as the Ross-River virus and Chikungunya virus, no vaccine or chemotherapy is currently...
