Straboviridae is a family of bacteriophages in the class Caudoviricetes. The viruses in this family were formerly place in the morphology-based family Myoviridae, which was found to be paraphyletic in genome studies and abolished in the 2021 International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) classification, although the term myovirus is still used to refer to the morphology of viruses in this new family. Bacteria and archaea serve as natural hosts. There were 209 species in this family, assigned to 36 genera and three subfamilies.
Taxonomy
The family was erected to contain three subfamilies that were previously placed in the morphology-based family Myoviridae, which was found to be paraphyletic in genome studies and abolished in the 2021 ICTV classification.
The subfamilies and their constituent genera are as follows:
