Sunviridae

Family of viruses From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sunviridae is a family of negative-strand RNA viruses in the order Mononegavirales.[1] Snakes serve as natural hosts. The family includes the single genus Sunshinevirus which includes the single species Sunshinevirus reptilis.[2] The family was formed to accommodate the Sunshine Coast virus (SunCV), previously referred to as "Sunshine virus", a novel virus discovered in Australian pythons.[3][4] The name derives from the geographic origin of the first isolate on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia.[1]
