''Emaravirus'' is a genus of negative-strand RNA viruses which infect plants. The

plant virus Plant viruses are viruses that have the potential to affect plants. Like all other viruses, plant viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that do not have the molecular machinery to replicate without a host. Plant viruses can be pathoge ...

group is the sole genus in the family ''Fimoviridae''.

Structure

Virions of this genus are between 80 and 100 nm and consists of an enveloped ribonucleocapsid that exhibits helical symmetry.

Genome

The genomes are segmented, consisting of four strands of negative-sense single-stranded RNA.
