Ascovirus
Introduction
The family of Ascovirus virions consist of an envelope, a core, and an internal lipid membrane associated with the inner particle. The virus capsid is enveloped and measures 130 nm in diameter, and 200-240 nm in length. Virions are bacilliform]], ovoid, and allantoid.
The genome is not segmented and contains a single molecule of circular double-stranded DNA. The genome has a guanine + cytosine content of 42-60 %.
Ascovirus infects primarily invertebrates[1].
