Members of the family produce enveloped virions with three single-stranded RNA segments comprising 17.1 to 22.8 kb in total. These viruses are maintained in arthropods and transmitted by ticks to mammals or birds. Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is tick-borne and is endemic in most of Asia, Africa, Southern and Eastern Europe whereas Nairobi sheep disease virus, which is also tick-borne, causes lethal haemorrhagic gastroenteritis in small ruminants in Africa and India. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family , which is available at ictv.global/report/nairoviridae.
该科病毒的成员产生带有包膜的病毒粒子，其总共有三个单链 RNA 片段，全长 17.1 到 22.8kb。这些病毒存在于节肢动物中，并通过蜱传播给哺乳动物或鸟类。克里米亚-刚果出血热病毒是由蜱传播的，在亚洲、非洲、南欧和东欧的大部分地区流行，而内罗毕绵羊病病毒也是由蜱传播的，它会导致非洲和印度的小反刍动物发生致命性出血性胃肠炎。这是国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）关于该科病毒的报告摘要，可在 ictv.global/report/nairoviridae 上查阅。
