Orthonairovirus
''Orthonairovirus'' is a genus of viruses in the family ''Nairoviridae'' of the order Bunyavirales that include viruses with circular, RNA virus#Group V - negative-sense ssRNA viruses, negative-sense single stranded RNA. It got its name from the Nairobi sheep disease that affects the gastrointestinal tracts of sheep and goats. The vast majority, and perhaps all viruses in this genus are arbovirus, tick-borne viruses that can have human or other vertebrate hosts.Crabtree, Mary B., Rosemary Sang, and Barry R. Miller.

It is one of three ''Rousettus'' species with an African-Malagasy range, though the only species of its genus found on continental Africa. The common ancestor of the three species colonized the region in the late Pliocene or early Pleistocene. The species is traditionally divided into six subspecies. It is considered a medium-sized megabat, with adults weighing and possessing wingspans of approximately . Individuals are dark brown or grayish brown, with their undersides paler than their backs. The Egyptian fruit bat is a highly social species, usually living in colonies with thousands of other bats. It, along with other members of the genus ''Rousettus'', are some of the only fruit bats to use echolocation, though a more primitive version than used by bats in other families.
