👉 Bunyavirus is a family of RNA viruses that cause severe respiratory illness in birds, primarily within poultry farms and other poultry-producing environments. It is characterized by a single nucleotide repeat sequence that encodes a single protein, which contains an N-terminal domain and a C-terminal polypeptide. This virus can spread rapidly through contact with infected birds or droppings, leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in affected animals.
