Phenuiviridae is a family of negative-strand RNA viruses in the order Bunyavirales.[1] Ruminants, camels, humans, and mosquitoes serve as natural hosts. Member genus Phlebovirus is the only genus of the family that has viruses that cause disease in humans (e.g. Rift Valley fever virus)[2] except Dabie bandavirus.[3]
Virology
Structure
Members of Phenuiviridae are enveloped viruses with helical capsid morphology. Envelope glycoproteins of these viruses are distributed with icosahedral symmetry (T=12).[2]
Genome
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
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]
