Class: Arfiviricetes
Order: Cremevirales
Family: Smacoviridae

Smacoviridae is a family of single-stranded DNA viruses. The genomes of this family are small (2.3–2.8 kilobases in length). The genomes are circular single-stranded DNA and encode rolling-circle replication initiation proteins (Rep) and unique capsid proteins. Six genera are currently recognized in this family.[1] The viruses in this taxon were isolated from faecal samples from insects and vertebrates by metagenomic methods. Little is known about their biology.

The genera in this family are:[1]

Biology

These viruses have single stranded genomes of 2.3–2.8 kilobases in length. The genome encodes six proteins including a Rep (replicator) and a CP (capsid) protein.
