Alsuviricetes is a class of positive-strand RNA viruses which infect eukaryotes. Its name is a syllabic abbreviation of alpha supergroup, with the suffix -viricetes indicating a virus class. Three orders are recognised within it: Hepelivirales, Martellivirales and Tymovirales. The order Martellivirales contains the family Virgaviridae, whose genus Tobamovirus infects plants, so the class reaches from the order level down to familiar plant pathogens such as the tobacco mosaic virus group.
