Kitrinoviricota is a phylum of RNA viruses that includes all positive-strand RNA viruses that 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]
