Mivirus is a genus of negative-strand RNA viruses which infect arthropods. [1] Member viruses have nonsegmented and bisegmented genomes. [2] There are ten species in the genus. [3]

Etymology

The name Mivirus derives from 芈 (Mǐ), the ancestral name of King Zhuang of Chu during the Spring and Autumn period, along with -virus, the suffix for a virus genus. [4]

Miviruses have nonsegmented and bisegmented genomes which are linear. Some member viruses may have circular genomes. [1] [2]
