Alphaabyssovirus

Alphaabyssovirus is a monotypic genus of viruses. It contains only the subgenus Aplyccavirus, which contains only one species, Aplysia abyssovirus 1. "Alphaabyssovirus" is also the only member of the subfamily Tiamatvirinae, which in turn is the only member of family Abyssoviridae, which likewise is the only member of the Abnidovirineae suborder. "Aplysia abyssovirus 1" was first isolated from a sample from a California sea hare ("Aplysia californica").
