The genome type of African Horse Sickness Virus as listed in the material is:

African Horse Sickness Virus carries a segmented double-stranded RNA genome, which is a hallmark of orbiviruses in the Reoviridae family. The genome consists of multiple dsRNA segments that encode various structural and nonstructural proteins, and replication occurs in the cytoplasm with a viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase packaged in the virion. This distinguishes it from viruses with DNA genomes or single-stranded RNA genomes, so the genome type is double-stranded RNA.
