Peribunyavirids produce enveloped virions with three negative-sense RNA segments comprising 10.7-12.5 kb in total. The family includes globally distributed viruses in multiple genera. While most peribunyavirids are maintained in geographically restricted vertebrate-arthropod transmission cycles, others are arthropod-specific or do not have a known vector. Arthropods can be persistently infected. Human and other vertebrate animal infections occur through blood feeding by an infected vector arthropod, resulting in diverse human and veterinary clinical outcomes in a strain-specific manner. Reassortment can occur between members of the same genus. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family <i>Peribunyaviridae</i>, which is available at ictv.global/report/peribunyaviridae.
