Technical advances in metagenomics and metatranscriptomics have dramatically accelerated virus discovery in recent years. “Chuviruses” were first described in 2015 as obscure negative-sense RNA viruses of diverse arthropods. Although chuviruses first appeared to be members of the negarnaviricot orderMononegavirales in phylogenetic analyses using RNA-directed RNA polymerase sequences, further characterization revealed unusual gene orders in genomes that are nonsegmented, segmented, and/or possibly circular.
