Artoviridae

Artoviridae is a family of negative-strand RNA viruses in the order Mononegavirales.^[1][2] Barnacles, copepods, odonates, parasitoid wasps, pile worms, and woodlice serve as natural hosts.^[2] The group name derives from arthropod the phylum of its hosts.^[3] Members of the family were initially discovered by high throughput sequencing.^[4][5]
