Distinguishing features
Viruses assigned to the genus Cetarhavirus form a distinct monophyletic group based on well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees inferred from complete L sequences. They have been isolated from marine cetaceans (dolphins and porpoises). They are most closely related to perhabdoviruses, sineperhaviruses, scophrhaviruses, all of which infect finfish.
