1. Caudovirales

   Caudovirales is an order of viruses known as the tailed bacteriophages (cauda is Latin for "tail"). Under the Baltimore classification scheme, the Caudovirales are group I viruses as they have double stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes, which can be anywhere from 18,000 base pairs to 500,000 base pairs in length. The virus particles have a distinct shape; each virion has an icosahedral head that contains the viral genome, and is attached to a flexible tail by a connector protein. The order encompasses a wide range of viruses, many containing genes of similar nucleotide sequence and function. However, some tailed bacteriophage genomes can vary quite significantly in nucleotide sequence, even among the same genus. Due to their characteristic structure and possession of potentially homologous genes, it is believed these bacteriophages possess a common origin.There are 14 families, 73 subfamilies, 927 genera, and 2,814 species in the order. This makes Caudovirales the most populous order among viruses, accounting for approximately 30% of all recognized virus species and nearly half of all virus genera.

There are at least 350 recognised species in this order.
