Family:	Phycodnaviridae
Genus:	Raphidovirus
Type Species
Heterosigma akashiwo virus 01

Raphidovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Phycodnaviridae. Alga serve as natural hosts. There is currently only one species in this genus: the type species Heterosigma akashiwo virus 01.^[1]^[2]

Structure

Viruses in Raphidovirus are enveloped, with icosahedral and round geometries, and T=169 symmetry. The diameter is around 100-220 nm. Genomes are linear, around 295kb in length.^[1]

Genus	Structure	Symmetry	Capsid	Genomic Arrangement	Genomic Segmentation
Raphidovirus	Icosahedral	T=169	Enveloped	Linear	Monopartite

Life Cycle

Viral replication is nucleo-cytoplasmic. Replication follows the DNA strand displacement model. DNA-templated transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by lysis via lytic phospholipids. Alga serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are passive diffusion.^[1]
