Family: Partitiviridae

Genus: Cryspovirus

Family: Partitiviridae

Genus: Deltapartitivirus

Distinguishing features

All members of the genus Deltapartitivirus infect plants. Deltapartitiviruses have two dsRNA segments that are believed to be individually encapsidated in separate particles and the genome is typically 3.1–3.2 kbp in total.
