Qalyub orthonairovirus, also known as Qalyub nairovirus or simply Qalyub virus, is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus discovered in a rat's nest in a tomb wall in the Egyptian town of Qalyub (Egyptian Arabic: قليوب pronounced [ʔælˈjuːb]) in 1952.[2] The primary vector for transmission is the Carios erraticus tick,[3] and thus it is an arbovirus.
