Hardyhisp2 virus infects the halophilic archaeon Haloarcula hispanica DSM 4426T and is closely related to His2 (Pleolipoviridae family). The viral genome is 16,133 bp long, with terminal inverted repeats of 599 bp. The predicted spike protein is only weakly similar (32% amino acid identity) to that of His2.
