''Asfarviridae'' is a family of viruses that primarily infects swine, resulting in an onset of African swine fever. There is a single genus in this family: Asfivirus. The name of this family and genus are derived from the acronym: African swine fever and related viruses. Only a single species has been described to date for this genus. This group of viruses are the only known arthropod borne DNA viruses. The viruses in this family are all enveloped and have double-stranded DNA genomes. The Asfarvirus exhibits some similarities in genome structure and replication strategies to the poxviruses and phycodnaviruses but has different virion structure from poxviruses and several other properties that distinguish it from the latter.〔Index of Viruses - Asfarviridae (2006).
