Alphasphaerolipovirus is a genus of double stranded DNA viruses that infect Haloarchaea.^[1] The genus contains four species.

Taxonomy

The genus contains the following species:^[2]

Alphasphaerolipovirus helsinkii (formerly Haloarcula hispanica icosahedral virus 2 (2014-2019), A. HHIV2 (2021))
Alphasphaerolipovirus pinkense (formerly Haloarcula hispanica virus PH1 (2014-2019), A. PH1 (2021))
Alphasphaerolipovirus serpentinense (formerly Haloarcula hispanica virus SH1 (2014-2019), A. SH1 (2021))
Alphasphaerolipovirus viikkii (formerly Haloarcula virus HCIV1 (2014-2019), A. HCIV1 (2021))

The name Halosphaerovirus was also proposed for this genus.^[3]
