| Virion |
Enveloped, variously shaped but predominantly filamentous, typically with a single nucleocapsid |
| Genome |
Approximately 15–19 kb of linear, negative-sense, non-segmented RNA |
| Replication |
Antigenomic RNA is a replication intermediate. The genome and antigenome form ribonucleoprotein complexes, which serve as templates |
| Translation |
From multiple 5′-capped and 3′-polyadenylated mRNAs |
| Host range |
Primates (e.g., ebolaviruses, marburgviruses), bats (e.g., marburgviruses), domestic pigs (e.g., Reston virus) and probably fish (e.g., striaviruses, thamnoviruses) become naturally infected |
| Taxonomy |
Realm Riboviria, phylum Negarnaviricota, subphylum Haploviricotina, class Monjiviricetes, order Mononegavirales; family includes multiple genera |
