Yuyuevirus is a genus of negative-strand RNA viruses which infect invertebrates.[2] Member viruses have bisegmented genomes.[3][4] It is the only genus in the family Yueviridae, which in turn is the only family in the order Goujianvirales and class Yunchangviricetes. Two species are recognized: Beihai yuyuevirus and Shahe yuyuevirus.[1]

Etymology
editThe name Yuyuevirus is from 於越 (Yúyuè), a synonym for the Spring and Autumn period state of Yuè, along with -virus, the suffix for a virus genus[5] Yueviridae comes from 越 (Yuè), also referring to Yuè state, with the suffix for virus family -viridae.[5] Goujianvirales is named in honor of Goujian (Gōujiàn 勾踐) the king of Yuè State.[5] Yunchangviricetes is named in honor of Yǔncháng (Yǔncháng 允常), the father of Gōujiàn.[5]
Genome
editYuyueviruses have negative-sense, single-stranded RNA genomes that are bisegemented. The total genome length is 7.8–8.2 kbp.[3][4]
Taxonomy
editThe genus contains two species:[1]
