Kitrinoviricota is a phylum of RNA viruses, which includes all positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses, which infect eukaryotes and are not members of the phylum Pisuviricota or Lenarviricota.[1] The name of the group derives from Greek κίτρινος (kítrinos) which means yellow (a reference to yellow fever virus) and -viricota which is the suffix for a virus phylum.[2]
