ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Xinmoviridae 2023
Stephen R. Sharpe, Sofia Paraskevopoulou
Abstract
Xinmoviridae is a family of viruses with negative-sense RNA genomes of 9–14 kilobases. Xinmovirids typically infect beneficial and pest insects but their host range has not yet been investigated systematically and hence may be broader. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family of Xinmoviridae , which is available at ictv.global/report/xinmoviridae .
