Phlebovirus
Sign in to savePhlebovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Phenuiviridae in the order Hareavirales. The genus contains 71 species. It derives its name from Phlebotominae, the vectors of member species sandfly fever Naples virus, which is said to be ultimately from the Greek , meaning "vein". The proper word for "vein" in Ancient Greek is, however, phleps ().

==Virology== thumb|Replication cycle of phleboviruses. Phleboviruses are viruses with a negative-sense RNA genome consisting of three segments. The small segment (S) codes for the viral N protein and a non structural protein, NSs via an ambisense coding strategy. The medium-sized segment (M) codes for a precursor of the viral glycoproteins and non-structural components. The product of the largest segment (L) is the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
