Nylanderia fulva virus 1 (NfV-1) is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus that infects the tawny crazy ant. Three near-complete genomes of NfV-1SI (92% to 94% nucleotide identity to reference strain NfV-1) found infecting the red imported fire ant were determined. The genomes have 10,904 to 10,918 nucleotides and include most of the coding region for the polyprotein.
