Megabirnaviridae is a family of double-stranded RNA viruses with one genus Megabirnavirus which infects fungi.[1] The group name derives from member's bipartite dsRNA genome and mega that is greater genome size (16 kbp) than families Birnaviridae (6 kbp) and Picobirnaviridae (4 kbp). There is only one species in this family: Rosellinia necatrix megabirnavirus 1. Diseases associated with this family include: reduced host virulence.[2][3]
