Piscanivirinae


Piscanivirinae is a virus subfamily of the family Tobaniviridae within the order Nidovirales which comprises different fish viruses. The virions have a viral envelope and a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome which is linear and unsegmented.
The subfamily contains two genera: Bafinivirus and Oncotshavirus. Both genera comprise rod shaped viruses with relatively large genoms like they mostly occur in the nidoviruses. Occasionally, also strongly pleomorphic virions were observed.
