Bunyaviridae Genome Structure and Gene Expression

  • Chapter
Bunyaviridae

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 169))

Abstract

More than 300 viruses are included in the family Bunyaviridae and hence show a number of unifying characteristics. However, with such a large number of members it is perhaps not unexpected that within the family there is significant diversity in genome structures and expression strategies. In this chapter we first present an overview of the unifying features as well as the diversity within the family. This will orientate the reader for the more detailed analyses of individual virus groups which follow.
