Subfamily: Nefertitivirinae

Genus: Liaoningvirus

Distinguishing features

Members of this genus infect Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The non-redundant part of the genomes of viruses in this genus is 53.7 kbp (45.0 %G+C), with 39 gene coding sequences (underannotated); no tRNAs are encoded.

Species demarcation criteria

Members of the same species are more than 95% identical in genome nucleotide sequence, including the terminal repeat region. Viruses with genomes that differ by more than 5% are assigned to different species.
