There is one genus in the family, Plasmavirus, which contains one species: Acholeplasma virus L2.

[1][2][3] All viruses known in this family have been isolated from species in the class Mollicutes.

The family has one genus, Plasmavirus, which has one recognized member: Acholeplasma virus L2.

There are five tentative members of Plasmavirus: The genome is condensed, nonsegmented and consists of a single molecule of circular, supercoiled double-stranded DNA, 12 kilobase pairs in length.

After initial infection of the viral genome the virus may become latent within the host.
