Abstract
The family Phenuiviridae comprises viruses with 2–8 segments of negative-sense or ambisense RNA, comprising 8.1–25.1 kb in total. Virions are typically enveloped with spherical or pleomorphic morphology but can also be non-enveloped filaments. Phenuivirids infect animals including livestock and humans, birds, plants or fungi, as well as arthropods that serve as single hosts or act as biological vectors for transmission to animals or plants. Phenuivirids include important pathogens of humans, livestock, seafood and agricultural crops. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Phenuiviridae , which is available at ictv.global/report/phenuiviridae .
