Family: Ascoviridae

Genus: Toursvirus

Distinguishing features

Currently, there is only one species within this genus, Diadromous pulchellus toursvirus. The single known member of this species, Diadromous puchellus toursvirus (DpTV) is transmitted by the parasitoid wasp Diadromous pulchellus, which typically parasitizes pupae of the lepidopteran family Yponomeutidae. 

Family: Ascoviridae

Genus: Ascovirus

Distinguishing features

Ascoviruses typically replicate in lepidopteran larvae of the family Noctuidae producing virion-containing vesicles, which give a milky white colouration to the haemolymph. Virions of ascoviruses are either bacilliform, ovoidal or allantoid in shape measuring 130 nm in diameter by 200–400 nm in length.
