Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Sawgrhavirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses assigned to the genus Sawgrhavirus 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 hard ticks taken from small mammals and marsupials. They are most closely related to rhabdoviruses in the genus Mousrhavirus, the sole member of which was isolated from mosquitoes.

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Ohlsrhavirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses assigned to the genus Ohlsrhavirus 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 discovered in culicine mosquitoes (primarily Ochlerotatus spp. or Culex spp.) collected from Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa or the Americas.

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Mousrhavirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses assigned to the genus Mousarhavirus form a distinct monophyletic group based on well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees inferred from complete L sequences. Moussa virus (MOUV; species Mousrhavirus moussa), the only virus assigned to the genus, was isolated from hard ticks.

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Lostrhavirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses assigned to the genus Lostrhavirus form a distinct monophyletic group based on well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees inferred from complete L sequences. Lostrhaviruses have been detected in hard ticks (Ixodidae). Lone star tick rhabdovirus (LSTRV; species Lostrhavirus lonestar) was detected in a tick collected from a patient with a rash illness.

Subfamily: Betarhabdovirinae

Genus: Gammanucleorhabdovirus

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Caligrhavirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses assigned to the genus Caligrhavirus 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 detected in sea lice (Copepoda: Caligidae).

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Alphanemrhavirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses assigned to the genus Alphanemrhavirus 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 detected in parasitic nematodes (roundworms of the phylum Nematoda). They are distinct phylogenetically from viruses assigned to the genus Betanemrhavirus.

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Vesiculovirus

Subfamily: Betarhabdovirinae

Genus: Varicosavirus

Subfamily: Alpharhabdovirinae

Genus: Tupavirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses assigned to the genus Tupavirus form a distinct monophyletic group based on well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees inferred from complete L sequences. Tupaviruses infect mammals and birds. The genome organisation features an alternative long ORF (Px or C) in the P gene and a gene encoding a small hydrophobic protein (U1 or SH) between the M gene and the G gene.
