ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: 2022 Open Access

This article is part of the ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profiles collection.

Abstract

Members of the family are lytic bacterial viruses infecting representatives of the bacterial class Gammaproteobacteria. Chaseviruses have a global distribution. Virions of members of this family have a myovirus morphology (icosahedral head with contractile tail). Genomes are dsDNA of 52–56 kbp with G+C content ranging from 39.3–52.5 %. Chaseviruses, like members of the family , encode a large single subunit RNA polymerase, but unlike those viruses their promoter sequences have not yet been identified. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family which is available at ictv.global/report/chaseviridae.
