Preface The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) classifies RNA viruses as those that belong to Group III, Group IV, or Group V of the Baltimore classification system and contain ribonucleic acid (RNA) as genetic material throughout their entire life cycle. Group III includes double-stranded RNA viruses (dsRNAs), whereas Groups IV and V contain single-stranded RNA viruses (ssRNAs) of positive and negative polarity, respectively. Positive sense RNA viruses (+ssRNAs) are those in which the RNA itself is translated by the host cell translation machinery and initiates an infectious cycle de novo. In contrast, negative sense RNA viruses (−s
