Orthobunyavirus is a genus of the Peribunyaviridae family[2] in the order Bunyavirales. There are currently ~170 viruses recognised in this genus. These have been assembled into 103 species[1] and 20 serogroups.
The name Orthobunyavirus derives from Bunyamwera, Uganda,[3] where the original type species Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus was first discovered,[4] along with the prefix orthos (ορθοϛ) meaning 'straight.'[5]
