Positive-sense RNA Viruses

Family: Solinviviridae

Genus: Nyfulvavirus

Distinguishing features

The sole member of the only species in this genus infects ants and has a genome organisation characterised by a single major ORF. This contrasts with the genome organisation of Solenopsis invicta virus 3 (genus Invictavirus), which has two major ORFs with ribosomal frameshifting used to express the 3′ ORF.

Positive-sense RNA Viruses

Genus: Invictavirus

Family: Solinviviridae

Genus: Invictavirus

Distinguishing features

The sole member of the only species in this genus infects ants and has two major ORFs, with ORF2 (encoding the frameshift domain, FSD, and VP2) being expressed via ribosomal frameshifting.
