Revtraviricetes is a class of viruses that contains every virus that encodes a reverse transcriptase. The group covers all of the ssRNA-RT viruses, which include the retroviruses, and the dsDNA-RT viruses. It is the sole class in the phylum Artverviricota, which is itself the only phylum in the kingdom Pararnavirae. Two orders are recognized, Blubervirales, with hepatitis B virus as its example, and Ortervirales, which holds the retroviruses, Caulimoviridae and various LTR retrotransposons. The name is a portmanteau of reverse transcriptase and viricetes, the suffix used for a virus class.
