Model for a novel membrane envelope in a filamentous hyperthermophilic virus, eLife , June 22, 2017. (pasteur.fr)
Found2
Acidianus filamentous virus 1 was found to bind to cellular pili-like appendages. (wikipedia.org)
The scientist's latest research, carried out with colleagues from the University of Virginia, has determined the structure of this new virus, which is not only found in Yellowstone, but more generally in active volcanic areas, such as southern Italy (close to Naples), Japan and Iceland.

Cell1
Two types are known but this one is completely new - "T he outer envelope of the virus is half as thick as known cell membranes but it is surprisingly stable. (pasteur.fr)

The family Ungulaviridae includes dsDNA viruses infecting hyperthermophilic archaea of the genus Acidianus (Table 1. (ictv.global)
Genus2
In 2020, the genus Alphalipothrixvirus was recreated for classification of Sulfolobus filamentous virus 1 and Sulfolobales Beppu filamentous virus 2. (wikipedia.org)

DsDNA1
Viruses from the two families have linear dsDNA genomes and share up to nine genes. (wikipedia.org)
Family4
Lipothrixviridae is a family of viruses in the order Ligamenvirales. (wikipedia.org)
Members of the Lipothrixviridae share structural and genomic characteristics with viruses from the Rudiviridae family, which contains non-enveloped rod-shaped viruses. (wikipedia.org)
Members of the Ligamenvirales are structurally related to viruses of the family Tristromaviridae which, similar to lipothrixviruses, are enveloped and encode two paralogous major capsid proteins with the same fold as those of ligamenviruses. (wikipedia.org)
Due to these structural similarities, order Ligamenvirales and family Tristromaviridae were proposed to be unified within a class 'Tokiviricetes' (toki means 'thread' in Georgian and viricetes is an official suffix for a virus class). (wikipedia.org)
Case3
Virion assembly and egress have been studied in the case of Sulfolobus islandicus filamentous virus (SIFV). (wikipedia.org)
In the case of betalipothrixviruses and deltalipothrixviruses, virions are released through pyramidal portals, referred to as virus-associated pyramids (VAPs). (wikipedia.org)
