Orthonairovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Nairoviridae of the order Bunyavirales that include viruses with circular, negative-sense single stranded RNA. [1] It got its name from the Nairobi sheep disease that affects the gastrointestinal tracts of sheep and goats. [1] The vast majority, and perhaps all viruses in this genus are tick ...
Family: Nairoviridae Genus: Orthonairovirus Distinguishing features. There are 51 distinct viruses currently assigned to the genus Orthonairovirus.These viruses typically infect specific argasid or ixodid ticks, which transmit them to small vertebrates (birds and mammals) that in turn then server as sources for tick infection.
The Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever orthonairovirus (CCHFV) is a member of the genus Orthonairovirus, family Nairoviridae of RNA viruses. The virions are 80–120 nanometers (nm) in diameter and are pleomorphic. There are no host ribosomes within the virion. Each virion contains three distinct RNA sequences, which together make up the viral ...
