Necrovirus is a genera of Tombusviridae. It is named after the type species, Tobacco necrosis virus A.

Species

Tentative species

Status unknown

Morphology

Icosohedral structure, each face containing six identical capsid proteins, arranged in a rotationally symmetric manner.

Vectors

While necroviruses are spread by mechanical means, often relating to propagation, most, if not all, species have a common fungal vector, the Chytridomycetes species Olpidium brassicae
