The Avsunviroidae are a family of viroids. There are four species in three genera (Avsunviroid, Elaviroid and Pelamoviroid).[1] They consist of RNA genomes between 246 and 375 nucleotides in length. They are single-stranded covalent circles and have intramolecular base pairing. All members lack a central conserved region.[2]
