Bunyamwera virus is the prototype of the Bunyamwera serogroup, which belongs to the order <i>Bunyavirales</i> of the <i>Orthobunyavirus</i> genus in the Peribunyaviridae family. Bunyamwera is a negative-sense RNA virus composed of three segments S, M, and L. Genetic recombination is possible between members of this order as it is already documented. Additionally, it can lead to pathogenic or host range improvement, if it occurs with viruses of public health and agricultural importance such as Ri
