Arteriviridae is a family of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses in the order Nidovirales which infect vertebrates.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=ICTV>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Host organisms include equids, pigs, Possums, nonhuman primates, and rodents. The family includes, for example, equine arteritis virus in horses which causes mild-to-severe respiratory disease and reproductive failure, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus type 1 and type 2 in pigs which causes a similar disease, simian hemorrhagic fever virus which causes a highly lethal fever, lactate dehydrogenase–elevating virus which affects mice, and wobbly possum disease virus.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="Kappes 2015">Template:Cite journal</ref>
StructureEdit
Member viruses are enveloped, spherical, and 45–60 nm in diameter.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref>
GenomeEdit
Arteriviruses have a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome.<ref name=":0" />
