Peduoviridae is a family of viruses in the class Caudoviricetes.[1][2] It was previously treated as a subfamily of the morphology based family Myoviridae, which has been found to be paraphyletic and is no longer recognised.[1] Bacteria serve as natural hosts. There are 126 species in this subfamily, assigned to 58 genera.[2]
