Bottigliavirus is the only genus in the family Ampullaviridae and contains 3 species.[3][4] Ampullaviridae infect archaea of the genus Acidianus.[5] The name of the family and genus is derived from the Latin word for bottle, ampulla, due to the virions having the shape of a bottle. The family was first described during an investigation of the microbial flora of hot springs in Italy.
