The family Nimaviridae includes the single species White spot syndrome virus, isolates of which infect a wide range of aquatic crustaceans and cause substantial economic losses. Virions are ellipsoid to bacilliform with a terminal thread-like extension. The circular dsDNA genome is 280-307 kbp with several homologous repeat regions. More than 80 structural and functional proteins have been characterized from 531 ORFs. White spot syndrome is a highly lethal, contagious disease associated with white spot syndrome virus infection of shrimps. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Nimaviridae, which is available at www.ictv.global/report/nimaviridae.
尼姆达病毒科包括一个种，即白斑综合征病毒，其分离株可感染多种水生甲壳动物，并造成巨大的经济损失。病毒粒子呈椭圆形至杆状，具有末端线状延伸。该病毒的环状双链 DNA 基因组大小为 280-307 kbp，具有几个同源重复区。从 531 个 ORF 中已经鉴定出 80 多种结构和功能蛋白。白斑综合征是一种高度致命的传染性疾病，与虾白斑综合征病毒感染有关。这是病毒分类国际委员会（ICTV）关于尼姆达病毒科报告的摘要，可在 www.ictv.global/report/nimaviridae 上查阅。
