===RNA viruses=== {{further|RNA virus}} All viruses that have an [[RNA]] [[genome]], and that encode an [[RNA-dependent RNA polymerase]] (RdRp), are members of the kingdom ''[[Orthornavirae]]'', within the realm ''[[Riboviria]]''.<ref name="ictv">{{cite web|title=Virus Taxonomy: 2019 Release|url=https://ictv.global/taxonomy|website=talk.ictvonline.org|publisher=International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses|access-date=25 April 2020}}</ref> * '''Group III''': viruses possess double-stranded RNA genomes, e.g. [[rotavirus]]. * '''Group IV''': viruses possess positive-sense single-stranded RNA genomes. Many well known viruses are found in this group, including the [[picornaviruses]] (which is a family of viruses that includes well-known viruses like Hepatitis A virus, enteroviruses, rhinoviruses, poliovirus, and foot-and-mouth virus), [[Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome|SARS]] virus, [[hepatitis C]] virus, [[yellow fever]] virus, and [[rubella]] virus. * '''Group V''': viruses possess negative-sense single-stranded RNA genomes. [[Ebola]] and [[Marburg virus]]es are well known members of this group, along with [[influenza virus]], [[measles]], [[mumps]] and [[rabies]]. {| class="wikitable" |+Examples of RNA viruses |- !
