a

Families where no entry pathways have been published are not listed.

b

Enveloped virus families are indicated by a * symbol, while (*) indicates virus families containing enveloped and nonenveloped forms. A? symbol indicates putative exit pathways. The corresponding source publication(s) or reference(s) is shown in parentheses at the end of an entry.

c

Ejection indicates membrane penetration, cell wall digestion, and genome ejection.
