nc1992 negative stranded can't be read by a translator so it needs to be transcribed into + first. Only then can it be used for protein. + is basically mRNA already. There's only one double stranded RNA family as far as I know- Reovirus so no encephalitis +9

hyoid The only thing I can think of is that HIV is a (+)-sense single-stranded RNA virus that relies on an RNA dependent DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase) to synthesize DNA. +1

haliburton according to [medbullets link](https://step1.medbullets.com/step1-microbiology/104196/rna-viruses_) ns ss RNA must carry RNA dependent RNA polymerase (so that is out). also, according to medbullets there are very few ds RNA viruses, so "most likely" will be ss. Also, RNA-dependent DNA polymerase = Reverse Transcriptase. Since HIV is a ss ps RNA virus with RT, they've described an HIV cousin. not sure beyond this. +

my problem with this, why can't it be similar to Hep B (circular DNA)? virus is new or hypothetical.

andro Hep B - is " partially " Double stranded and not fully double stranded . Double stranded Circular does not necessarily denote Hep B even though the virus has a reverse transcriptase . I think they wanted you to pay attention to this . And besides the obvious fact that Hepatitis viruses cause inflammation of the Hepar ( liver) and not encephalon ( brain) +
