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.
