The family was first described during an investigation of the microbial flora of hot springs in Italy. Structure and genomeAmpullaviruses have unique morphology, with the virions being bottle-shaped with one narrow end that smoothly expands into a wider end for an overall length of about 230 nm and width of about 75 nm at the broad end. The narrow end projects beyond the viral envelope and is likely used to inject the viral DNA into host cells. The broad end possesses about 20 thin filaments, each that are regularly distributed in a ring. Inside the envelope is a funnel-shaped protein coat that houses the viral DNA.[1] The genome of ampullaviruses is linear, double-stranded DNA that is about 23.8 kilobases in length. The genome contains an estimated 56 or 57 open reading frames that encode for at least six structural proteins.[1][3] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite journal | pmid = 16014951| pmc = 1181580| year = 2005| author1 = Häring| first1 = M| title = Viral diversity in hot springs of Pozzuoli, Italy, and characterization of a unique archaeal virus, Acidianus bottle-shaped virus, from a new family, the Ampullaviridae| journal = Journal of Virology| volume = 79| issue = 15| pages = 9904–11| last2 = Rachel| first2 = R| last3 = Peng| first3 = X| last4 = Garrett| first4 = R.
