Torovirus is a genus of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses in the order Nidovirales and family Tobaniviridae. They primarily infect vertebrates , especially cattle, pigs, and horses. [2] Diseases associated with this genus include gastroenteritis , [2] which commonly presents in mammals. [3]
Nov 28, 2014 · Toroviruses are single-stranded RNA peplomer-bearing enveloped viruses producing enteric disease in animals and humans. They have a unique extracellular C-shape or open torus morphology.

Torovirus is a genus within the Coronaviridae family, and toroviruses are known causes of diarrhea among cattle. These viruses have an envelope of 100–140 nm, with a helicoidal capsid and a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome. Torovirus was detected for the first time in human gastroenteritis in 1984.
Mar 8, 2021 · Abstract. Torovirus (ToV) has recently been classified into the new family Tobaniviridae, although it belonged to the Coronavirus (CoV) family historically. ToVs are associated with enteric diseases in animals and humans. In contrast to CoVs, which are recognised as pathogens of veterinary and medical importance, little attention has been paid ...
Biological properties. So far, torovirus infection has been conclusively demonstrated only in ungulates: horse (EToV), bovine (BToV) and swine (PToV).
