Shāyáng spider virus 1 (SySV1) is the only classified shaspivirus. SySV1infects araneid spiders (Li et al., 2015).
Virions are unknown.
There are 51 distinct viruses currently assigned to the genus Orthonairovirus. These viruses typically infect specific argasid or ixodid ticks, which transmit them to small vertebrates (birds and mammals) that in turn then server as sources for tick infection. Some orthonairoviruses are transmitted transovarially in ticks.
