J Gen Virol. 2023 Oct;104(10):001896. doi: 10.1099/jgv.0.001896.

Abstract

Sunviridae is a family of negative-sense RNA viruses with genomes of about 17.2 kb that have been found in snakes. The sunvirid genome comprises nonsegmented RNA with six open reading frames (ORFs) >1 kb that are predicted to encode six proteins. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Sunviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/sunviridae.
