Summary The genome of Nugget virus, a serotype of the Kemerovo group of orbiviruses, consists of 10 segments of double‐stranded RNA. The properties of the virus are consistent with its classification as an orbivirus, but the unusual patterns of separation of viral RNA and polypeptides compared with that reported for most other orbiviruses suggests the possibility of heterogeneity within the genus Orbivirus .
