Reovirales are a group of viruses that pose a serious threat to human and animal health, but the study of their biology has lagged behind due to the lack of an effective reverse genetics system. Recently, plasmid-based reverse genetics systems have been developed for some Reovirales viruses.
Reovirales are segmented double-strand RNA viruses with a broad host range that pose a serious threat to human and animal health. However, there are numerous viral species within the Reovirales, some of which have lagged behind other RNA viruses in the study of their biology due to the lack of an effective reverse genetics (RG) system. The RG systems are the most powerful tools for studying viral protein function, viral gene expression regulation, viral pathogenesis, and the generation of engineered vaccines. Recently, several entirely plasmid-based RG systems have been developed for several members of the Reovirales. This review outlines the devel-opment and future direction of the RG system for the best studied Reovirales viruses.
