Abstract

Ten families and eight genera have been approved by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) and include at least 230 species. A new basic phage group has been found in Archaebacteria. Over 2700 phages are tailed; about 130 are cubic, filamentous or pleomorphic. Their distribution provides insights into phage origin.
