thumb|Reconstruction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ty1 (genus Pseudovirus) virion with its building blocks. Pseudoviridae is a family of viruses, which includes three genera.
Viruses of the family are actually LTR retrotransposons of the Ty1-copia family. They replicate via structures called virus-like particles (VLPs). VLPs are not infectious like normal virions, but they nevertheless make up an essential part of the pseudoviral lifecycle.
