Abstract
Family Smacoviridae (order Cremevirales, class Arfiviricetes, phylum Cressdnaviricota) comprises viruses with small circular genomes of ~2300–3000 nt in length that encode at least two proteins, the rolling-circle replication associated protein (Rep) and the capsid protein (CP). Smacovirids have been discovered in fecal samples of various animals and display remarkable sequence diversity. Here, we provide an overview of the genomic properties of classified smacovirids and report on the latest taxonomy update in the family Smacoviridae. The family has been expanded by 59 new species in the genera Porprismacovirus (n = 25), Inpeasmacovirus (n = 1), Felismacovirus (n = 22), Drosmacovirus (n = 4), Dragsmacovirus (n = 2), Bovismacovirus (n = 4), and Bonzesmacovirus (n = 1) and currently includes 12 genera with 143 species officially recognized by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).
期刊介绍：
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
