Bunyavirales is an order of segmented negative-strand RNA viruses with mainly tripartite genomes. Member viruses infect arthropods, plants, protozoans, and vertebrates.[2] It is the only order in the class Ellioviricetes.[1] The name Bunyavirales derives from Bunyamwera,[3] where the original type species Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus was first discovered.[4] Ellioviricetes is named in honor of late virologist Richard M. Elliott for his early work on bunyaviruses.[5]
Bunyaviruses belong to the fifth group of the Baltimore classification system, which includes viruses with a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA genome. They have an enveloped, spherical virion. Though generally found in arthropods or rodents, certain viruses in this order occasionally infect humans. Some of them also infect plants.[6] In addition, there is a group of bunyaviruses whose replication is restricted to arthropods and is known as insect-specific bunyaviruses.[7]
A majority of bunyaviruses are vector-borne. With the exception of

Bunyavirus
Genome
Bunyaviruses have bi- or tripartite
Most bunyaviruses have a negative-sense L and M segment. The S segment of the genus
The total genome size ranges from 10.5 to 22.7
Life cycle
The ambisense genome requires two rounds of transcription to be carried out. First, the negative-sense RNA is transcribed to produce mRNA and a full-length replicative intermediate. From this intermediate, a subgenomic mRNA encoding the small segment nonstructural protein is produced while the polymerase produced following the first round of transcription can now replicate the full-length RNA to produce viral genomes.[citation needed]
Bunyaviruses replicate in the cytoplasm, while the viral proteins transit through the ER and Golgi apparatus. Mature virions bud from the Golgi apparatus into vesicles which are transported to the cell surface.[citation needed]

Taxonomy
There are 477 virus species recognised in this order.[1] The phylogenetic tree diagram provides a full list of member species and the hosts which they infect.[2] The order is organized into the following 12 families:[1]
- Arenaviridae
- Cruliviridae
- Fimoviridae
- Hantaviridae
- Leishbunyaviridae
- Mypoviridae
- Nairoviridae
- Peribunyaviridae
- Phasmaviridae
- Phenuiviridae
- Tospoviridae
- Wupedeviridae
Diseases in humans
Bunyaviruses that cause disease in humans include:[citation needed]
- Jamestown Canyon virus, La Crosse encephalitis virus, Oropouche orthobunyavirus, and Snowshoe hare virus(vector: mosquitoes; family: Peribunyaviridae);
- Hantavirusreservoir: small mammals or rodents (vector: aerosolized excreta from these mammals; family: Hantaviridae);
- Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever reservoir and (vector: ticks; amplifying hosts and vector: small mammals, domestic mammals; family: Nairoviridae);
- Rift Valley fever (reservoir: bats; vector: mosquitoes; amplifying hosts: small and domestic mammals; family: Phenuiviridae);
- Bwamba Fever(reservoir: monkeys; vector: mosquitoes; amplifying hosts: donkeys; family: Peribunyaviridae);
- Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (vector: ticks);
- Lassa fever and Argentine hemorrhagic fever (reservoir: rodents; vector: aerosolized excreta from these mammals; family: Arenaviridae).
Bunyaviruses have segmented genomes, making them capable of rapid reassortment and increasing the risk of outbreak.
Prevention
Prevention depends on the reservoir, amplifying hosts and how the viruses are transmitted, i.e. the vector, whether ticks or mosquitoes and which animals are involved. Preventive measures include general hygiene, limiting contact with vector saliva, urine, feces, or bedding. There is no licensed vaccine for bunyaviruses. As precautions Cache Valley virus and Hantavirus research are conducted in BSL-2 (or higher), Rift Valley Fever virus research is conducted in BSL-3 (or higher), Congo-Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever virus research is conducted in BSL-4 laboratories.[citation needed]
