Perhabdovirus is a genus of viruses in the order Mononegavirales, in the family Rhabdoviridae. Fish serve as natural hosts. There are currently three species in this genus, including the type species Perch rhabdovirus. Diseases associated with this genus include: breathing and swimming problems.[1][2]

Structure
Viruses in Perhabdovirus are enveloped, with bullet shaped geometries. Genomes are linear, around 11.1kb in length. The genome codes for 5 proteins.[1]

Life Cycle
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the viral G glycoproteins to host receptors, which mediates clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Replication follows the negative stranded RNA virus replication model. Negative stranded RNA virus transcription, using polymerase stuttering is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by budding, and tubule-guided viral movement. Fish serve as the natural host.[1]
