Narnavirus is a genus of positive-strand RNA viruses in the family Narnaviridae. Fungi serve as natural hosts. There are two species in this genus.[1][2] Member viruses have been shown to be required for sexual reproduction of Rhizopus microsporus.[3] Narnaviruses have a naked RNA genome without a virion and derive their name from this feature.[4]
