Arteriviridae is a family of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses in the order Nidovirales which infect vertebrates.[1][2] 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.[3][4]
Structure[edit]
Member viruses are enveloped, spherical, and 45–60 nm in diameter.[5]
Genome[edit]
Arteriviruses have a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome.[5]
Taxonomy[edit]
The family Arteriviridae contains the subfamilies:[6]
- Crocarterivirinae
- Equarterivirinae
- Heroarterivirinae
- Simarterivirinae
- Variarterivirinae
- Zealarterivirinae

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
