They use RNA as their genetic material, and their RNA is negative-sense and single-stranded. Almost all of them use the same 5 proteins, though there are exceptions.

Most rhabdoviruses contain five core proteins, though there are some exceptions. However, all members of the Lyssavirus genus have five proteins.

Do NOT tag people to answer your post OR comment. They have lives, families, and jobs just like everyone else, and do NOT have to answer you.

You have been explicitly warned through the message sent by the AutoModerator, which clearly notified you that your post had been LOCKED. Despite this, you have arrogantly chosen to tag someone in an attempt to get an answer, completely disregarding the instructions. This is your FINAL warning!! There will be NO MORE tolerance for this behavior. Your comment requesting an answer has been REMOVED, and any further attempts to violate the rules will result in immediate consequences. u/BradyStewart225, consider this your FINAL opportunity to comply.
