Phlebovirus
Definition 1
A genus of enveloped, spherical shaped viruses with surface glycoproteins that are arranged in a T=12 icosahedral symmetrical lattice, in the family Bunyaviridae. The genome is composed of three linear, segmented single-strands of negative sense RNA. Phelboviruses are mosquito-borne and humans, ruminants and camels are natural hosts. This genus causes influenza-like illness and rarely hemorrhagic fevers in humans. (NCI Thesaurus)
