Rhizouliviruses have a mono-segmented genome, infect fungi, and are phylogenetically distinct from other botourmiaviruses.
No true virions are associated with rhizouliviruses since their genomes have no capsid protein gene.

Botouliviruses have a mono-segmented genome and infect fungi. Some members of the genus have been identified in association with grapevine leaves affected by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola. Botouliviruses are phylogenetically distinct from other botourmiaviruses.
No true virions are associated with botouliviruses since their genomes have no capsid protein gene.
