Asfarviridae is a family of viruses, the best-studied of which is African swine fever virus, which are double-stranded DNA viruses.[1]
Taxonomy
There is only one species under Asfarviridae in ICTV 2022:
- Genus Asfivirus[2]
- Species African swine fever virus[1][2]
But, there may be more viruses:
- Abalone asfarvirus[3][1]
- Dinodnavirus (Heterocapsa circularisquama DNA virus or hcDNAV)[1]
- Faustovirus[1]
- Kaumoebavirus[1][4]
- Pacmanvirus[1][5]
- Additional genomes known from environmental sampling of diverse marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats[1]
