Virgaviridae is a family of positive-strand RNA viruses.

There are currently 59 species in this family, divided among seven genera.

Translation takes place by leaky scanning, and suppression of termination.

The virus exits the host cell by tripartite non-tubule guided viral movement, and monopartite non-tubule guided viral movement.

[2][3] Viruses include in the family Virgaviridae are characterized by unique alpha-like replication proteins.
