Abstract
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a species of the Orbivirus within the Reoviradae group. X-ray crystallography has been used to determine the structure of the core particle of BTV. The atomic structure gives an insight into how around 1,000 protein components self-assemble using both the classical mechanism of quasi-equivalent contacts and geometrical quasi-equivalence.
