Chloriridovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Iridoviridae.[1] Diptera with aquatic larval stage, mainly mosquitoes, lepidoptera, and orthoptera insects serve as natural hosts. There are five species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include: yellow-green iridescence beneath the epidermis (early mosquito larval stages are most susceptible to infection). Death rates are highest in the fourth instar.[2][3] Viruses within this genus have been found to infect mosquito larvae, in which they produce various iridescent colors.[4]
