Genus

Genus: Kappaarterivirus

Subfamily: Zealarterivirinae

Genus: Kappaarterivirus

 

Distinguishing features

Kappaarterivirus wobum is the only species in the family. There is, however, considerable variability between available wobbly possum disease virus (WPDV) sequences isolated in New Zealand and Australia (70 to 80% identity at the amino acid level within the conserved RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp) protein) and hence, these may be split into separate species in the future.

Distinguishing features

Kibale red-tailed guenon virus 1 (KRTGV-1), DeBrazza’s monkey arterivirus (DeMAV), Pebjah virus (PBJV) infect Old World cercopithecine primates and cause hemorrhagic disease in captive macaques and subclinical infection in wild African primates of the genus Cercopithecus (KRTGV-1, DeMAV).
