Secoviridae is a family of viruses in the order Picornavirales. Plants serve as natural hosts. There are 10 genera in the family, four of which are assigned to a subfamily.[1][2][3][4] The family was created in 2009 with the grouping of families Sequiviridae, now dissolved, and Comoviridae, now subfamily Comovirinae, along with the then unassigned genera Cheravirus, Sadwavirus, and Torradovirus.[4]
