Type Species |
(BUNV) |
The consensus terminal nucleotide sequences of the L, M and S genome segments are UCAUCACAUGA . . . at the 3
-end and AGUAGUGUGCU . . . at the 5-end. The N and NSs proteins are encoded in overlapping reading frames by the S RNA and are translated from the same complementary mRNA as the result of alternate AUG initiation codon usage. Both glycoproteins and a NSm protein with Mr 15-18 
103 are encoded as a precursor polyprotein by the M RNA. Genetic reassortment has been demonstrated between viruses which constitute a species but not between viruses which constitute different species.
Viruses are serologically unrelated to members of other genera. Most viruses are mosquito-transmitted though some (e.g., Tete group) are tick-transmitted. Occasionally alternate arthropods such as culicoid flies and phlebotomines transmit bunyaviruses. Some viruses are transmitted transovarially in arthropods. See Fig. 4.
List of Species Demarcation Criteria in the Genus
Demarcation of bunyavirus species has proven difficult due to the lack of biochemical characterization of most of the named virus isolates. Species are thus primarily defined by serological criteria (cross-neutralization and cross-hemagglutination-inhibition tests). The limited available data indicate that one bunyavirus species is unable to form a reassortant with another species. Where known the amino acid sequences of the N proteins differ by more than 10%.
Official virus species names are in italics. Tentative virus species names, alternative names ( ), strains or serotypes are not italicized. Virus names, vector type, genome sequence accession numbers [ ], and assigned abbreviations ( ) are:
