The family Arteriviridae comprises enveloped RNA viruses with a linear, positive-sense genome of approximately 12.7 to 15.7 kb. The spherical, pleomorphic virions have a median diameter of 50–74 nm and include eight to eleven viral proteins. Arteriviruses infect non-human mammals in a vector-independent manner. Infections are often persistent and can either be asymptomatic or produce overt disease. Some arteriviruses are important veterinary pathogens while others infect particular species of wild rodents or African non-human primates. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Arteriviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/arteriviridae.

ICTV 病毒分类概况：动脉病毒科 2021

动脉病毒科包括有包膜的 RNA 病毒，其线性正义基因组约为 12.7 至 15.7 kb。球形多形病毒粒子的中值直径为 50-74 nm，包括 8 到 11 个病毒蛋白。动脉病毒以不依赖载体的方式感染非人类哺乳动物。感染通常是持续性的，可以是无症状的，也可以是明显的疾病。一些动脉病毒是重要的兽医病原体，而另一些则感染特定种类的野生啮齿动物或非洲非人类灵长类动物。这是国际病毒分类委员会 (ICTV) 关于动脉病毒科的报告的摘要，可在 ictv.global/report/arteriviridae 获取。
