Figure 1. RVFV RNA species and coding strategy.

Figure 1.

Schematic showing all RNA species for each viral segment. Full length genomic segments are negative sense and serve as templates for the generation of complementary antigenomic RNAs. The S segment has an ambisense coding strategy wherein, the N mRNA is transcribed from the genomic RNA and NSs mRNA is transcribed from the antigenomic RNA. The genomic strands of L and M segments are used as templates to generate L and M mRNAs, respectively. The dashed lines indicate the 3’-ends of L and M mRNAs compared to the full-length antigenomic segments.
