Genus:Yuyuevirus

Yuyuevirus is a genus of negative-strand RNA viruses which infect invertebrates. [1] Member viruses have bisegmented genomes. [2] [3] It is the only genus in the family Yueviridae, which in turn is the only family in the order Goujianvirales and class Yunchangviricetes. The genus contains two species.

Etymology

The name Yuyuevirus is from 於越 (Yúyuè), a synonym for the Spring and Autumn period state of Yuè, along with -virus, the suffix for a virus genus. [4] Yueviridae comes from 越 (Yuè), also referring to Yuè state, with the suffix for virus family -viridae. [4] Goujianvirales is named in honor of Goujian (Gōujiàn勾踐) the king of Yuè State. [4] Yunchangviricetes is named in honor of Yǔncháng (Yǔncháng允常), the father of Gōujiàn. [4]

Genome

Yuyueviruses have negative-sense, single-stranded RNA genomes that are bisegemented. The total genome length is 7.8–8.2 kbp. [2] [3]

Taxonomy

The genus contains the following species: [5]
