Asfarviridae is a family of viruses, the best-studied of which is African swine fever virus, which are double-stranded DNA viruses.^[1]

Taxonomy

There is only one species under Asfarviridae in ICTV 2022:

Genus Asfivirus^[2]
- Species African swine fever virus^[1]^[2]

But, there may be more viruses:

Abalone asfarvirus^[3]^[1]
Dinodnavirus (Heterocapsa circularisquama DNA virus or hcDNAV)^[1]
Faustovirus^[1]
Kaumoebavirus^[1]^[4]
Pacmanvirus^[1]^[5]
Additional genomes known from environmental sampling of diverse marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats^[1]
