Ovaliviridae
Ovaliviridae is a family of viruses of archaeal bacteria that is not assigned to any higher taxonomic ranks.[1] The family contains a single genus, Alphaovalivirus, which contains a single species, Sulfolobus ellipsoid virus 1.[2] The linear genome of dsDNA is 23,219 bp with 172 bp inverted terminal repeats. Sulfolobus ellipsoid virus was isolated from an acidic hot spring (86−106oC, pH 2.2−2.5) in Laguna Fumarolica, Costa Rica; the only known host is Sulfolobus sp. A20.[3]
