Subfamily: Gammarhabdovirinae

Genus: Novirhabdovirus

Family: Rhabdoviridae

Genera not assigned to a subfamily

Within the Rhabdoviridae, one genus (Platrhavirus) does not fall within any of the existing subfamilies. 

Family: Rhabdoviridae

Subfamily: Gammarhabdovirinae

Distinguishing features

The viruses assigned to the subfamily form a monophyletic clade in well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees using full-length L sequences. The subfamily includes two genera for viruses infecting finfish or freshwater molluscs.

Family: Rhabdoviridae

Subfamily: Betarhabdovirinae

Distinguishing features

The viruses assigned to the subfamily form a monophyletic clade in well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees using full-length L sequences. The subfamily includes six genera for viruses infecting plants and arthropod vectors.

Family: Rhabdoviridae

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Distinguishing features

The viruses assigned to the subfamily form a monophyletic clade in well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees using full-length L sequences. The subfamily includes 33 genera for viruses infecting only vertebrates, only invertebrates or vertebrate hosts and arthropod vectors. Various members may infect birds, reptiles, amphibians, non-dipteran insects, ticks, crustaceans or nematodes.

Subfamily: Betarhabdovirinae

Genus: Alphanucleorhabdovirus

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Barhavirus

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Arurhavirus

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Zarhavirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses assigned to the genus Zarhavirus form a distinct monophyletic group based on well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees inferred from complete L sequences. Zahedan rhabdovirus (ZARV; species Zarhavirus zahedan) was isolated from hard ticks.

Virion

Morphology

Virion morphology is unknown.

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Sunrhavirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses assigned to the genus Sunrhavirus form a distinct monophyletic group based on well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees inferred from complete L sequences. Viruses assigned to the genus have been isolated from culicine mosquitoes, biting midges or birds in Central Africa, Egypt, North America or Australia.
