Pseudoviridae
Pseudoviridae
Family of viruses
Pseudoviridae is a family of viruses,[1] which includes three genera.[2]
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.[2]
