| Virion |
Enveloped, variously shaped but predominantly filamentous, typically with a single nucleocapsid |
| Genome |
Approximately 13.1–20.9 kb of linear, negative-sense, non-segmented RNA |
| Replication |
Ribonucleoprotein complexes serve as templates for transcription and replication. Encapsidated antigenomic RNA is a replication intermediate |
| Translation |
From multiple monocistronic 5′-capped and 3′-polyadenylated mRNAs |
| Host range |
Fish (oblaviruses, striaviruses, thamnoviruses), mammals (cuevaviruses, dianloviruses, orthoebolaviruses, orthomarburgviruses), reptiles (tapjoviruses) |
| Taxonomy |
Realm Riboviria, phylum Negarnaviricota, subphylum Haploviricotina, class Monjiviricetes, order Mononegavirales; >7 genera and >14 species |
