ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: 2024 Open Access

This article is part of the ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profiles collection.

Abstract

is a family for negative-sense RNA viruses with genomes of about 9.7–15.8 kb. These viruses are maintained in and/or transmitted by insects. Phasmavirids produce enveloped virions containing three single-stranded RNA segments that encode a nucleoprotein (N), a glycoprotein precursor (GPC), 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 which is available at ictv.global/report/phasmaviridae.
