Lipothrixviridae
Virus classification
Group:	Group I (dsDNA)
Family:	Lipothrixviridae;

The Lipothrixviridae or Lipothrixvirus family consists of a family of viruses that infect archaea bacteria^[1]. They share characteristics from the Rudiviridae family and both have are filamentous viruses with linear dsDNA genomes that infect thermophilic archaea in the kingdom Crenarchaeota^[2]. Lipothrixviridae are enveloped.
