Is this group polyphyletic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.248.123.146 (talk) 17:56, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes. I'll mention this in the virology section. Simple but powerful  21:31, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Untitled
this page says bunyaviruses include reoviruses... the reovirus page doesn't make any reference to bunyaviruses... i think they may be separate families, then (united under the arbovirus non-taxonomy grouping)...  can someone confirm this and edit the article as necessary? 71.234.101.130 00:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Classification
Is this list only supposed to contain "clinically important" viruses? What does that mean, whether it has caused illness in any humans, or in large numbers of humans, or does it include animals? The statement about African swine fever would seem to indicate viruses that don't affect humans should be included. Anyways, there's a bunch of Phleboviruses and Alphaviruses for example that cause disease in humans that aren't on the list. Mthoma15 (talk) 04:23, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

The article used to group into four "families". Bunyaviridae is not a family, the link redirects to the Order Bunyavirales. Families under this that include the listed genuses are Nairoviridae Peribunyaviridae, and Phenuiviridae. Do these four top groups still hold or should we just use the actual taxonomic families in the list? Mthoma15 (talk) 04:23, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
