Rudivirus
Virus classification
Group: Group I (dsDNA)
Family: Rudivirus


The Rudivirus or Rudiviridae family consists of a family of viruses[1] that infect archaea bacteria[2]. They share characteristics from the Lipothrixviridae family and both have are filamentous viruses with linear dsDNA genomes that infect thermophilic[3] archaea in the kingdom Crenarchaeota[4]. Rudiviridae are non-enveloped[5].

Replication and topology of the genomes of the members of the family Rudiviridae are similar to those of poxviruses[6][7][8]
