Members of the family Fimoviridae, order Bunyavirales are plant viruses with segmented, linear, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA genomes. They are distantly related to orthotospoviruses and orthobunyaviruses of the families Tospoviridae and Peribunyaviridae, respectively. The family Fimoviridae includes the genus Emaravirus, which comprises several species with European mountain ash ringspot-associated emaravirus as the type species. Fimoviruses are transmitted to plants by eriophyid mite vectors and induce similar characteristic cytopathologies in their host plants, including the presence of double membrane-bound bodies in the cytoplasm of the virus-infected cells. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the taxonomy of the Fimoviridae, which is available at www.ictv.global/report/fimoviridae.
丝状病毒科的成员属于布尼亚病毒目，是具有分段、线性、单链、负义 RNA 基因组的植物病毒。它们与分别属于 Tospoviridae 和 Peribunyaviridae 科的正粘病毒和 orthobunyaviruses 关系较远。丝状病毒科包括 Emaravirus 属，该属包含几个种，欧洲山荆子环斑-associated emaravirus 是其模式种。丝状病毒通过叶螨介体传播给植物，并在其宿主植物中引起类似的特征细胞病理学，包括在病毒感染细胞的细胞质中存在双层膜结合体。这是国际病毒分类委员会 (ICTV) 关于丝状病毒科分类报告的摘要，可在 www.ictv.global/report/fimoviridae 上获得。
