Phenuiviridae is a family of viruses primarily transmitted by arthropods, such as mosquitoes and ticks. These viruses are known to infect a variety of hosts, including mammals and birds. They are characterized by their single-stranded RNA genomes and can cause diseases in both animals and humans. The family includes several genera, with notable members like Bunyavirus and Phlebovirus. Infections caused by Phenuiviridae can lead to symptoms ranging from mild febrile illness to more severe conditions, depending on the specific virus and host involved. Research continues to better understand their transmission and impact on public health.
