A virus containing double-stranded RNA. It is isolated from the respiratory and intestinal tracts of humans and other mammals. The prefix “reo-” is an acronym for respiratory enteric orphan.
A virus which affects both the intestine and the respiratory system, but does not cause serious illness.
One of a group of small RNA containing viruses that infect both respiratory and intestinal tracts without producing specific or serious diseases (and were therefore termed respiratory enteric orphan viruses).
A double-stranded RNA virus found in the respiratory and digestive tracts of apparently healthy persons, and occasionally associated with respiratory, digestive, or neurological diseases.
