Marseilleviridae
Sign in to savethumb|right|upright=1.25|The typical form of the virions of the Marseilleviridae is, in principle, similar to that of the Mimiviridae. Marseilleviridae is a family of viruses first named in 2012. The genomes of these viruses are double-stranded DNA. Amoeba are often hosts, but there is evidence that they are found in humans as well. The family contains one genus and four species, two of which are unassigned to a genus. It is a member of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses clade.
