Family: Lispiviridae

Genus: Acridvirus

Distinguishing features

Members of the genus Acridvirus are distinguished from members of other genera by their branching on a phylogenetic tree constructed with the L-INS-i algorithm and inferred using ModelTest-NG and the LG substitution model, and by having a coding-complete RdRP amino acid sequence that is less than 50% identical to that of members of other genera in the family.

Species demarcation criteria

There is only one species in the genus. Members of additional species in the genus would be expected to be <85% identical in their coding-complete RdRP amino acid sequence.
