ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Leishbuviridae 2023

J Gen Virol. 2023 Dec;104(12):001934. doi: 10.1099/jgv.0.001934.

Abstract

Leishbuviridae is a family of negative-sense RNA viruses with genomes of about 8.0 kb that have been found in protists. The leishbuvirid 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 Leishbuviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/leishbuviridae.

Keywords: ICTV Report; Leishbuviridae; Leptomonas moramango virus; shilevirus; taxonomy.
