Mivirus is a genus of negative-strand RNA viruses which infect arthropods.[1] Member viruses have nonsegmented and bisegmented genomes.[2] There are nine species in the genus.[3]
Etymology[edit]
The name Mivirus derives from 芈 (Mǐ), the ancestral name of King Zhuang of Chu during the Spring and Autumn period, along with -virus, the suffix for a virus genus.[4]
Genome[edit]
Miviruses have nonsegmented and bisegmented genomes which are linear. Some member viruses may have circular genomes.[1][2]
Taxonomy[edit]
The following species are recognized:[3]
