双链的RNA病毒

Definition from labome.com:
This result suggested that OsRDR6 acted differently during silencing double-stranded RNA viruses and negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses.
这结果显示OsRDR6在静止双链的RNA(核糖核酸)病毒及负义单链的RNA病毒的过程操作不一样。

Example sentence(s):

This infection is caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a single stranded RNA virus. RSV infection occurs throughout the year in Hong Kong. 呼吸道合胞病毒感染由呼吸道合胞病毒，一種單鏈的核糖核酸病毒所引起。在香港，呼吸道合胞病毒感染全年皆會發生。 - Centre for Health Protection, HKSAR

Explanation:
RNA视乎读者的知识程度可维持原字 RNA 不译，否则若不嫌冗赘可展开译成「核糖核酸」，全句为「双链的核糖核酸病毒」
Depending on the prior knowledge of the audience, RNA is a term well-known enough to be retained as untranslated, otherwise for novice audience, it can be expanded as 核糖核酸 (ribonucleic acid).
