Orthonairovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Nairoviridae of the order Bunyavirales that include viruses with circular, negative-sense single stranded RNA.[1] It got its name from the Nairobi sheep disease that affects the gastrointestinal tracts of sheep and goats.[1] The vast majority, and perhaps all viruses in this genus are tick-borne viruses that can have human or other vertebrate hosts.[2]
