Family: Metaviridae

Genus: Errantivirus

Distinguishing features

Most errantiviruses carry a third env-like gene and are considered to be true or potential endogenous viruses, although infectivity has been empirically demonstrated only for Drosophila melanogaster Gypsy virus (DmeGypV).

Family: Metaviridae

Genus: Metavirus

Distinguishing features

The species assigned to the genus Metavirus encode Gag and Pol proteins. However, this genus is now known to also include distinct lineages of viruses showing high divergence and polyphyletic relationships to each other.
