Nanoviridae
This family of plant viruses causes mainly stunting and yellows diseases. They are transmitted by insects in a persistent manner. The genome consists of circular, single-stranded DNA. Each virus has 6-11 short DNA segments, each about 1000 bases long. The particles are icosahedral and about 18-20 nm in diameter.
The following genera are currently entered under this family:
