''Dinodnavirus'' is a genus of viruses that infect dinoflagellates.〔Tarutani K, Nagasaki K, Itakura S, Yamaguchi M (2001) Isolation of a virus infecting the novel shellfish-killing dinoflagellate ''Heterocapsa circularisquama''. Aquat Microb Ecol 23:103-111〕 This genus belongs to the clade of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses. The name is derived from 'dino' (dinoflagellate) and DNA (from its genome). The type species is Heterocapsa circularisquama DNA virus 01. ==Virology== The virus has an isosahedral capsid ~200 nanometers in diameter. The genome is a single molecule of double stranded DNA of a ~356-kilobases. It infects the dinoflagellate ''Heterocapsa circularisquama''. During replication virions emerge from a specific cytoplasm compartment - the 'viroplasm' - which is created by the virus.〔Nagasaki K, Tomaru Y, Tarutani K, Katanozaka N, Yamanaka S, Tanabe H, Yamaguchi M (2003) Growth characteristics and intraspecies host specificity of a large virus infecting the dinoflagellate ''Heterocapsa circularisquama''.
