Dhori virus
Dhori virus (DHOV) is a species of the genus Thogotovirus and a member of the family Orthomyxoviridae. Its host is most commonly Ixodidae ticks but can also be other species of ticks, mosquitoes, and mammals (including humans). DHOV is lethal to mice, leads to high rates of miscarriages in sheep and goats, and causes systemic pathologic changes similar to those reported in humans with virulent influenza A (H5N1) virus infection.

Batken virus (BKNV) is considered a subtype of DHOV. Serological cross-reactions between BKNV and DHOV indicate a phylogenetic relationship between these viruses.
Additionally, in 2014 Bourbon virus (BRBV) was found to be phylogenetically related to DHOV.
