- Abstract
Many epidemics are caused by negative-stranded RNA viruses, leading to serious disease outbreaks that threaten human life and health. These viruses also have a significant impact on animal husbandry, resulting in substantial economic losses and jeopardizing global food security and the sustainable livelihoods of farmers. However, the pathogenic and infection mechanism of most negative-stranded RNA viruses remain unclear. Reverse genetics systems are the most powerful tools for studying viral protein function, viral gene expression regulation, viral pathogenesis, and the generation of engineered vaccines. The reverse genetics of some negative-strand viruses have been successfully constructed, while others have not. In this review, we focus on representative viruses from the Orthomyxoviridae family (IAV), the Filoviridae family (EBOV), and the Paramyxoviridae family (PPRV) to compile and summarize the existing knowledge on reverse genetics techniques for negative-strand viruses. This will provide a theoretical foundation for developing reverse genetics techniques for some negative-strand viruses.
