Glossinavirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Hytrosaviridae . [1] Glossina sp serve as natural hosts. There is currently only one species in this genus: the type species Glossina hytrosavirus. Diseases associated with this genus include: partial sterility due to ovarian abnormalities or to testicular degeneration; can be asymptomatic in laboratory colonies. [2] [3]
