Emesvirus is a genus of positive-strand RNA viruses, in the family Fiersviridae.

[3] Viruses in Emesvirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and Spherical geometries, and T=3 symmetry.

[1] Emesviruses have a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome.

Translation takes place by suppression of termination.

The virus exits the host cell by bacteria lysis.
