Bunyaviruses are a diverse group of RNA viruses that are known to cause a wide range of illnesses in both humans and animals. These viruses are typically transmitted to humans through arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks, or sandflies.

In severe cases, bunyavirus infection can lead to more serious complications like hemorrhagic fever, encephalitis, or meningitis.
