Welcome to the new ICTV Web Site!

Welcome to the new ICTV web site. This new web site will modernize the ICTV data access infrastructure to provide a stable, responsive, scalable information technology platform based on modern, cloud- based, open-source systems. This infrastructure will provide an easy-to-use web-based platform supporting significant enhancements to our ability to provide information and tools on virus classification and taxonomy.

Genus

Genus: Seawadnavirus

Family: Bacilladnaviridae

Genus: Seawadnavirus

 

Distinguishing features

Viruses in the genus Seawadnavirus have been identified by metagenomic analysis of samples from environmental sources (ocean water and benthic sediment). There are no physico-chemical or biological data that distinguish them from other bacilladnavirids. The genus is delineated on the basis of Rep protein phylogeny.
