The species in this family have a positive sense single stranded DNA genome. The viron [[capsid]] is non enveloped, hollow and cylindrical. It composed of a coiling fiber which in turn consists of two intertwining halves of a single circular [[nucleoprotein]].

Aeropyrum coil-shaped virus

Spiraviridae is a family of single stranded DNA viruses that infect archeae.[1]

Description

This family was described in 2012.[2]

The species in this family have a positive sense single stranded DNA genome. The viron capsid is non enveloped, hollow and cylindrical. It composed of a coiling fiber which in turn consists of two intertwining halves of a single circular nucleoprotein.

Species in this family infect archaea.
