Herelleviridae is a family of bacterial viruses of the order Caudovirales infecting members of the phylum Firmicutes.[1] The family has five subfamilies, 33 genera and 92 species.[2]
Etymology
The family's name, Herelle is in honor of Félix d'Hérelle, a French-Canadian microbiologist, the suffix -viridae is the standard suffix for virus families.[3]
