dsDNA-RT virus
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
dsDNA-RT viruses are the seventh group in the Baltimore virus classification. They are not considered as DNA viruses (class I of Baltimore classification), but rather reverse transcribing viruses because they replicate through an RNA intermediate. It includes the families Hepadnaviridae and Caulimoviridae.
The term "pararetrovirus" is also used for this group.[1] The term was introduced in 1985.[2]
