Genome organization of novel sand fly–associated phlebovirus Ntepes virus identified in Kenya. Sequence length of the L, M, and S segments (in bp) and encoded predicted proteins RdRp, Gn, Gc, N, and nonstructural proteins NSm and NSs (in kDa) are indicated; ORF positions (length in bp) are also indicated. GFV, Gabek Forest virus; L, large segment (encoding the RdRp protein); M, medium segment (encoding the nonstructural protein NSm and the 2 glycoproteins Gn and Gc); N, nucleocapsid protein; ORF
