Bwamba Fever
Bwamba Fever virus is from the genus Orthobunyavirus and belongs to the order Bunyaviridae. It has a negative sense single stranded RNA (ssRNA) genome, and so is classified as a class V virus under the Baltimore classification system. The genome is segmented into three pieces, Large (L), Medium (M) and Small (S), which have a combined length of approximately 12,000nt. The S RNA encodes a nucleocapsid and non structural proteins, the M RNA encodes envelope glycoproteins and a non structural membrane polypeptide and the L RNA encodes an RNA dependent RNA polymerase.

Famous quotes containing the word fever:
“Yknow Pete, back where I come from folks call that love stuff quick poison or slow poison. If its quick poison it hurts you all over real bad like a shock of electricity. But if its slow poison, well, its like a fever that aches in your bones for a thousand years.”
