The Bunyavidae family is the largest grouping of RNA viruses and arguably the most diverse. Bunyaviruses have a truly global distribution and can infect vertebrates, invertebrates and plants. The majority of bunyaviruses are vectored by arthropods and thus have the remarkable capability to replicate in hosts of disparate phylogeny. The family has provided many examples of emerging viruses including Sin Nombre and related viruses responsible for hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome in the Americas, first identified in 1993, and Schmallenberg virus which emerged in Europe in 2011, causing foetal malformations in ruminants. In addition, some well-known bunyaviruses like Rift Valley fever and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever viruses continue to emerge in new geographical locations. In this short review we focus on newly identified viruses associated with severe haemorrhagic disease in humans in China and the US.

布尼亚维科_家族是RNA病毒中最大的类群，并且可以说是最多样化的。布尼亚病毒具有真正的全球分布，可以感染脊椎动物、无脊椎动物和植物。大多数布尼亚病毒由节肢动物传播，因此具有在不同系统发育的宿主中复制的卓越能力。该家族提供了许多新兴病毒的例子，包括 1993 年首次在美洲发现的 Sin Nombre 和导致美洲汉坦病毒心肺综合征的相关病毒，以及 2011 年在欧洲出现的 Schmallenberg 病毒，导致反刍动物胎儿畸形。此外，一些著名的布尼亚病毒，如裂谷热和克里米亚-刚果出血热病毒，继续在新的地理位置出现。
