This book provides a comprehensive exploration of single-stranded RNA viruses with the potential to infect animal embryos, examining their taxonomy, biology, and complex interactions with host systems. Across thirteen chapters, it introduces major virus families—including Rhabdoviridae, Bornaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Picornaviridae, Caliciviridae, Astroviridae, Coronaviridae, Arteriviridae, and Flaviviridae—while detailing their structural features, transmission patterns, and embryonic pathogenic potential. The text further delves into the molecular roles of RNA in viral replication, pathogenic mechanisms, and modulation of viral load, offering insights into how these viruses evade innate immunity and trigger emerging infectious diseases. Advanced chapters unpack the strategies RNA viruses use to manipulate host cells, determine the fate of viral RNA, and activate RNA-based immune pathways mediated by Dicer-family receptors. Together, the book serves as a foundational reference for understanding single-stranded RNA virus biology and its implications for the vulnerability of animal embryos.
