Virus classification Edit this classification
(unranked): Viroid
Family: Pospiviroidae
Genera

The Pospiviroidae[1] are a incertae sedis family of ssRNA viroids with 5 genera and 39 species, including the first viroid to be discovered, PSTVd, which is part of genus Pospiviroid.[2] Their secondary structure is key to their biological activity. The classification of this family is based on differences in the conserved central region sequence.[3] Pospiviroidae replication occurs in an asymmetric fashion via host cell RNA polymerase, RNase, and RNA ligase. Its hosts are plants, specifically dicotyledons and some monocotyledons. The severity of the infection can vary from no effect to devastating and widespread damage to a population. This can also depend on the virus-host combination.[4]
