Pararnavirae is a kingdom of viruses. Its only phylum is Artverviricota, whose only class is Revtraviricetes, the class that contains all viruses that encode a reverse transcriptase. The kingdom therefore holds the ssRNA-RT viruses, which include the retroviruses, and the dsDNA-RT viruses such as hepatitis B virus. Below the class are two orders, Blubervirales and Ortervirales, the second of which holds the retroviruses, Caulimoviridae and various LTR retrotransposons. The kingdom takes its place in the virus hierarchy through this single line of descent.
