Rift Valley fever virus)[2][scientific citation needed] except Dabie bandavirus.
[2][time needed] Phenuiviridae is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus family.
[1] Some members of the family have ambisense gene encoding on the S segment (nucleocapsid proteins).
The M segment includes envelope glycoproteins encoded in a polyprotein that is cleaved by host proteases.
[5] Multiple different proteins can be encoded on the M segment due to leaky scanning by the ribosome.
