Family of viruses
Artoviridae is a family ofnegative-strand RNA viruses in the orderMononegavirales.[1][2]Barnacles,copepods,odonates,parasitoid wasps,pile worms, andwoodlice serve as natural hosts.[2] The group name derives fromarthropod the phylum of its hosts.[3] Members of the family were initially discovered byhigh throughput sequencing.[4][5]
Artovirus genome organizationVirions are enveloped, spherical particles, 100 to 130 nm in diameter, and the virusgenome comprises about 12 kb of negative-sense, unsegmentedRNA.[2]
The family contains the following genera:[2]
