Abstract
Viruses in the family Bunyaviridae are found worldwide. Most are arboviruses (arthropod-borne animal viruses), maintained in nature by a biological (propagative) transmission cycle between susceptible vertebrate hosts and hematophagous arthropods, such as mosquitoes, biting flies, and ticks. Vertebrate hosts of these viruses include rodents and other small mammals, primates, birds, and ungulates. Arboviruses usually occur in silent, sylvatic transmission cycles; however, more than 60 members of the family Bunyaviridae have been reported to cause disease in humans or livestock and some cause disease in sea birds or plants (Table I).
