Marseilleviridae
Virus classification Edit this classification
(unranked): Virus
Realm: Varidnaviria
Kingdom: Bamfordvirae
Phylum: Nucleocytoviricota
Class: Megaviricetes
Order: Pimascovirales
Family: Marseilleviridae
Genera
The typical form of the virions of the Marseilleviridae is, in principle, similar to that of the Mimiviridae.

Marseilleviridae is a family of viruses first named in 2012.[1] The genomes of these viruses are double-stranded DNA. Amoeba are often hosts, but there is evidence that they are found in humans as well.[2][3][4][5] The family contains one genus and four species, two of which are unassigned to a genus.[6][7] It is a member of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses clade.
