Artverviricota is a phylum of viruses and the only phylum in the kingdom Pararnavirae. It contains a single class, Revtraviricetes, which gathers all viruses that encode a reverse transcriptase. That class includes the ssRNA-RT viruses, among them the retroviruses, and the dsDNA-RT viruses such as hepatitis B virus. The class is split into two orders, Blubervirales, which has hepatitis B virus as its example, and Ortervirales, which holds the retroviruses, Caulimoviridae and various LTR retrotransposons. The phylum therefore corresponds to the whole of the reverse-transcribing viruses within the kingdom.
