Emaravirus is a genus of negative-strand RNA viruses which infect plants. The plant virus group is the sole genus in the family Fimoviridae. [1]
Virions of this genus are between 80 and 100 nm and consists of an enveloped ribonucleocapsid that exhibits helical symmetry.[ citation needed ]
The genomes are segmented, consisting of four strands of negative-sense single-stranded RNA.[ citation needed ]
Emaravirus has the closest phylogenetic relationship with members of the genera Orthotospovirus and Orthobunyavirus . The 3' and 5' ends of the genomic RNAs are complementary (similar to viruses of the Bunyaviricetes class), with the sequence 5'-AGUAGUGUUCUCC-3' at the 5' terminus and 5'-GGAGUUCACUACU-3' at the 3' terminus. However, the number of genome segments and gene sequences distinguishes emaraviruses from bunyaviruses and tenuiviruses.[ citation needed ]
The genus contains the following species, listed by scientific name and followed by the exemplar virus of the species: [2]
