Sign in to saveAlso known as iridovirids
Iridoviridae is a family of viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes. Amphibians, fish, and invertebrates such as arthropods serve as natural hosts. There are currently 23 species in this family, divided among two subfamilies and eight genera.

屬 綠虹彩病毒屬 Chloriridovirus 虹彩病毒屬 Iridovirus 魚類淋巴囊腫病毒 Lymphocystivirus Megalocytivirus 蛙科病毒屬 Ranavirus 虹彩病毒科是一族有雙鏈DNA基因組的病毒。虹彩病毒科的原文Iridoviridae，來自希臘字中的Iris，有彩虹的意思。因為被虹彩病毒感染的宿主，例如昆蟲和魚類，其身體表面會呈現特別的色彩，因此被稱為虹彩病毒。此病毒最早是在1954年，一種大蚊(Crane fly)的幼蟲身上發現。虹彩病毒可感染的生物包括了脊椎動物和無脊椎動物，在兩棲類、魚類、昆蟲都曾發現被虹彩病毒感染的記錄。 構造 病毒顆粒直徑約120-300nm，遺傳物質為直線雙鏈DNA，大約150-280kbp。 感染宿主 虹彩病毒主要感染無脊椎動物和非哺乳類的脊椎動物。 分類 可分為四個屬： 虹彩病毒屬Iridovirus: 感染無脊椎動物，包括藤壺-代表種：無脊椎動物虹彩病毒6(Invertebrate iridescent virus 6) 綠虹彩病毒屬(Chloriridovirus)-代表種：無脊椎動物虹彩病毒3(Invertebrate iridescent virus 3) 蛙科病毒屬(Ranavirus)：感染兩棲類和爬蟲類-代表種：蛙病毒3(Frog virus 3) 魚類淋巴囊腫病毒Lymphocystivirus:感染淡水魚和海水魚-代表種：淋巴囊腫病病毒1 (Lymphocystis disease virus 1) Vholoridovirus:感染昆蟲 未定義病毒 這是與病毒相關的小作品。你可以通过编辑或修订扩充其内容。 取自“https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=虹彩病毒科&oldid=45768590” 分类：核质巨DNA病毒 隐藏分类： 维基数据有相关图片而本地未添加 病毒小作品

Iridoviridae is a family of viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes. Amphibians, fish, and invertebrates such as arthropods serve as natural hosts. There are currently 23 species in this family, divided among two subfamilies and eight genera.
==Nomenclature== The name is derived from Iris, the Greek goddess of the rainbow. This name was chosen because of the "rainbow-like" iridescence observed in heavily infected insects and pelleted samples of invertebrate iridoviruses.
