'''''Salmonivirus''''' is a genus of viruses in the order ''[[Biology:Herpesvirales|Herpesvirales]]'', in the family ''[[Biology:Alloherpesviridae|Alloherpesviridae]]''. Salmonidae serve as natural hosts. There are three species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include: salHV-3: epizootic epitheliotropic disease.<ref name=ViralZone>{{cite web|title=Viral Zone|url=http://viralzone.expasy.org/all_by_species/2856.html|publisher=ExPASy|accessdate=13 August 2015}}</ref><ref name=ICTV>{{cite web |title=Virus Taxonomy: 2020 Release |url=https://ictv.global/taxonomy |publisher=International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) |date=March 2021 |access-date=10 May 2021}}</ref>

== Species ==
The genus consists of the following three species:<ref name=ICTV />

* ''[[Biology:Salmonid herpesvirus 1|Salmonid herpesvirus 1]]''
* ''[[Biology:Salmonid herpesvirus 2|Salmonid herpesvirus 2]]''
* ''[[Biology:Salmonid herpesvirus 3|Salmonid herpesvirus 3]]''

==Structure==
Viruses in ''Salmonivirus'' are enveloped, with icosahedral and spherical to pleomorphic geometries, and T=16 symmetry. The diameter is around 150-200&nbsp;nm. Genomes are linear and non-segmented.<ref name=ViralZone/>

== Life cycle ==
Viral replication is nuclear, and is lysogenic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the viral glycoproteins to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis. DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. Salmonidae serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are passive diffusion.<ref name=ViralZone/>
