Peribunyaviruses are enveloped and possess three distinct, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA segments comprising 11.2–12.5 kb in total. The family includes globally distributed viruses in the genera Orthobunyavirus , Herbevirus , Pacuvirus and Shangavirus . Most viruses are maintained in geographi...
