ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Wupedeviridae 2023

J Gen Virol. 2023 Dec;104(12):001932. doi: 10.1099/jgv.0.001932.

Abstract

Wupedeviridae is a family of negative-sense RNA viruses with genomes of about 20.5 kb that have been found in myriapods. The wupedevirid genome consists of three monocistronic RNA segments with open reading frames (ORFs) that encode a nucleoprotein (NP), a glycoprotein (GP), and a large (L) protein containing an RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) domain. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Wupedeviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/wupedeviridae.
