| The family Marnaviridae consists of a single genus, Marnavirus, with Heterosigma akashiwo RNA virus as the type species. | |||||||||||
| Four other viruses appear to belong to the family, Schizochytrium single-stranded RNA virus (Takao et al., 2005, 2006), Rhizosolenia setigera RNA virus (Shirai et al., unpublished), Marine RNA virus JP-A and Marine RNA virus JP-B (Culley et al., 2007). | |||||||||||
