The strains in this genus form a distinct clade within the family Caliciviridae (Figure 4. Caliciviridae). ORF1 of minovirus encodes a polyprotein that shares 21% amino acid identity with caliciviruses in the genus Salovirus, which also have been detected in fish species, followed by 11% to 14% amino acid identity with mammalian caliciviruses.
The strains in this genus form a distinct clade within the family Caliciviridae (Figure 4. Caliciviridae).
