An RNA virus is a virus that has RNA (ribonucleic acid) as its genetic material. This nucleic acid is usually single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) but may be double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Notable human diseases caused by RNA viruses include Ebola hemorrhoragic fever, SARS, Rabies, common cold, influenza, h...

Hepatitis G virus (HGV) is a single stranded RNA virus which represents a newly discovered virus belonging to the flavivirus family. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the family Flaviviridae and is distantly related to hepatitis C virus [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
All these three viruses are the isolates of the same virus termed HGV, which is positive stranded RNA virus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Enterovirus Infection
virus and is one of the causative agents for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). [chp.gov.hk]
Since most CFS patients have persistent or intermittent gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, the presence of viral capsid protein 1 (VP1), enterovirus (EV) RNA and culturable virus [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
KEYWORDS: apoptosis; microRNA; non-coding RNA; protein synthesis shutdown; virus replication [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hepatitis A
Eur. hepatitis A virus RNA for NAT testing BRP batch 1. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a small, non-enveloped RNA virus belonging to the Picornaviridae, for which only one serotype has been identified. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] which directs transcription of RNA containing the EMC virus IRES fused to the poliovirus 2Apro coding region. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
This virus is a typical type-C RNA tumor virus, buds from the cell membrane, prefers magnesium for reverse transcriptase activity, and has an internal antigen (p25) similar [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Astrovirus
Apparently, the 5'-end modification of the viral RNA determined its specific infectivity, since virus recovery was abolished when the total RNA was treated with proteinase-K [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Viral genome-linked proteins (VPgs) have been identified in several single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus families. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Human astrovirus, the prototype of the Astroviridae family, is a non-enveloped positive-strand RNA virus with distinctive morphology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis
Both exposure of MX-infected HeLa cells to chronic hypoxia and gene transfer approaches led to increased virus RNA transcription and higher levels of the viral proteins via [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
virus in the Arenaviridae family Risk Factors Immunocompromised state Pregnancy Clinical Presentation Symptoms develop 5-10 days after exposure Presents as an acute influenza [arupconsult.com]
Here we show that hypoxia can influence the gene expression and transmission of the cytoplasmic RNA virus lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), which is a neglected human [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Colorado Tick Fever
Colorado tick fever is a rare, self-limiting febrile illness caused by an RNA virus of the genus Coltivirus. [symptoma.com]
This agent is a double-stranded RNA virus of the genus Coltivirus in the family Reoviridae. The entire genome has been sequenced. [emedicine.com]
A different RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family causes this tick-borne encephalitis and is transmitted by the ticks Ixodes persulcatus and Ixodes ricinus. [emedicine.com]
Hepatitis E
