ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Hantaviridae 2024

• Hantaviridae is a family for negative - sense RNA viruses with genomes of about 10.5-14.6 kb. These viruses are maintained in and/or transmitted by fish, reptiles, and mammals. Several orthohantaviruses can infect humans, causing mild, severe, and sometimes - fatal diseases. Hantavirids produce enveloped virions containing three single- stranded RNA segments with open reading frames that encode a nucleoprotein (N), a glycoprotein precursor (GPC), and a large (L) protein containing an RNAdirected RNA polymerase (RdRP) domain. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Hantaviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/hantaviridae.
