Phylum: Negarnaviricota
Class: Ellioviricetes
Order: Bunyavirales
Family: Phenuiviridae

Phenuiviridae is a family of negative-strand RNA viruses in the order Bunyavirales.[1] Ruminants, camels, humans, and mosquitoes serve as natural hosts. Until 2011, member genus Phlebovirus was the only genus of the family with viruses causing disease in humans (e.g. Rift Valley fever virus)[2][scientific citation needed] except Dabie bandavirus.[3]

Structure

[edit]
Rift Valley fever virus structure

Members of Phenuiviridae are enveloped viruses with helical capsid morphology. Envelope glycoproteins of these viruses are distributed with icosahedral symmetry (T=12).[2][time needed]

Genome

[edit]

Phenuiviridae is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus family.[4] Its genome is segmented into three pieces: L segment (encoding RNA-dependent RNA polymerase), M segment, and S segment.[1]

Some members of the family have ambisense gene encoding on the S segment (nucleocapsid proteins). The M segment includes envelope glycoproteins encoded in a polyprotein that is cleaved by host proteases.[5] Multiple different proteins can be encoded on the M segment due to leaky scanning by the ribosome.[2]

Life cycle

[edit]

RNA transcripts are capped through cap snatching, but not polyadenylated.[5] Translation is terminated by a hairpin sequence at the end of each RNA transcript.[2]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The following genera have been recognized, as of 2020:[6]
