Seadornavirus

Seadornavirus is a genus of viruses, in the order Reovirales, in the family Sedoreoviridae. Human, cattle, pig, and mosquitoes serve as natural hosts. There are three species in this genus: Banna virus (BAV), Kadipiro virus, and Liao ning virus. Each of these viruses has been isolated from Aedes, Anopheles and Culex mosquito populations, but only BAV has been shown to cause infection in humans, in which the symptoms are similar to Japanese encephalitis—fever, malaise, and encephalitis. The word seadornavirus is a portmanteau, meaning Southeast Asian dodeca RNA virus.
