Genus

Genus: Botoulivirus

Family: Botourmiaviridae

Genus: Botoulivirus

 

Distinguishing features

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.

Virion

No true virions are associated with botouliviruses since their genomes have no capsid protein gene.
