Tobaniviridae is a family of enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses in the order Nidovirales which infect vertebrates.[1] The most common host organisms include mammals, fish, and snakes, with some infections observed in other reptiles.[2] The genome size of tobaniviruses ranges from 20 to 32 kilobases.[3] The family is the only member of the suborder Tornidovirineae.[4]
