Birnaviridae is a family of viruses that primarily infects fish and birds. These viruses are non-enveloped and have a segmented double-stranded RNA genome. They are known to cause various diseases, impacting the health of aquatic and avian species. The most notable members of the Birnaviridae family include Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV), which affects fish, and Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV), which targets birds. These viruses can lead to significant economic losses in aquaculture and poultry industries due to high mortality rates and reduced productivity.
