The genome of Nugget virus, a serotype of the Kemerovo group of orbiviruses, consists of 10 segments of double-stranded RNA. The properties of the virus are consistent with its classification as an orbivirus , but the unusual patterns of separation of viral RNA and polypeptides compared with that reported for most other orbiviruses suggests the possibility of heterogeneity within the genus Orbivirus .
