California Serogroup Viruses

  • Chapter
Clinical and Molecular Aspects of Neurotropic Virus Infection

Part of the book series: Developments in Medical Virology ((DIMV,volume 5))

Abstract

Bunyaviruses are enveloped viruses containing a single stranded RNA genome which consists of three separate segments of negative polarity. The virion contains 4 major proteins, an RNA polymerase, a nucleocapsid protein, and two glycoproteins.
