Genera "Type Species" |
|
|---|---|
| Vesiculovirus: Vesicular stomatitis group | Vesicular Stomatitis - Indiana virus (B72) |
| Lyssavirus: Rabiesvirus group | Rabies virus (B72) |
| Plant rhabdovirus group | |
Genera "Host Range" |
|
|---|---|
| Vesiculovirus: Vesicular stomatitis group | "Isolated in nature from vertebrates or invertebrates" (B72) |
| Lyssavirus: Rabiesvirus group | "The type species (rabies virus) is transmitted through bites and rarely through aerosols or corneal grafts. The virus has been isolated from warm-blooded animals and insects. Other types isolated in nature from vertebrates or invertebrates" (B72) |
| Plant rhabdovirus group | "A wide variety of plants are susceptible to rhabdoviruses although each virus usually has a restricted host range. Most are transmitted by leafhoppers, planthoppers or aphids although one mite and one lacebug-transmitted virus have also been identified. In carefully examined cases, the virus has been shown to replicate in both plant and insect vector." (B72) |
