Family of viruses
Artoviridae is a family of negative-strand RNA viruses in the order Mononegavirales .[ 1] [ 2] Barnacles , copepods , odonates , parasitoid wasps , pile worms , and woodlice serve as natural hosts.[ 2] The group name derives from art hro pod the phylum of its hosts.[ 3] Members of the family were initially discovered by high throughput sequencing .[ 4] [ 5]
Structure
Artovirus genome organization
Virions are enveloped, spherical particles, 100 to 130 nm in diameter, and the virus genome comprises about 12 kb of negative-sense, unsegmented RNA .[ 2]
Taxonomy
The following genera and species are recognized:[ 2]
