Feraviridae is a family of viruses with negative stranded RNA genomes. They are a member of the order Bunyavirales.
There is one genus currently recognised in this family—Orthoferavirus.
The type species of this family—Ferak virus—has been isolated in cell culture.
The virion is enveloped and spherical with a diameter of 80–120 nanometers.
The genome has three segments L (6.8 kilbases), M (4.2 kilobases) and S (1.5 kilobases). It encodes five proteins—the polymerase on the L segment, the p12G and the Gc-Gn protein on the M segment and the N and p12 proteins in the S segmement.
A Gn–Gc glycoprotein dimer binds to the cell receptor. The virus is endocytosed and escapes into the cytoplasm where it replicates. It is released from the cell by budding.
