Herelleviridae is a family of bacterial viruses of the order Caudovirales infecting members of the phylum Firmicutes.[1] The family has five subfamilies and 34 genera.[2] On average, replication of family members is supported by 70% isolates of primary host species.[3]
The family's name, Herelle is in honor of Félix d'Hérelle, a French-Canadian microbiologist, the suffix -viridae is the standard suffix for virus families.[4]
