None reported.

Similarity with other Taxa

One ORF in fusellovirus genomes is similar to a gene present in the Sulfolobus viruses of the families Lipothrixviridae and Rudiviridae. The virus of extreme halophiles, Hisl, originally suggested to be a fusellovirus, on further characterization, has been found to be very dissimilar and a novel genus (Salterprovirus) has been established for this group of viruses.

Derivation of Names

Fusello: from the Latin fusello, 'little spindle'.
