ICTV Master Species List 2019 v1

Dataset homepage

Citation

International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (2022). ICTV Master Species List 2019 v1. Checklist dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/i4jnfv accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-06-04.

Description

Official lists of all ICTV-approved taxa. The creation or elimination, (re)naming, and (re)assignment of a virus species, genus, (sub)family, or order are all taxonomic acts that require public scrutiny and debate, leading to formal approval by the full membership of the ICTV. In contrast, the naming of a virus isolate and its assignment to a pre-existing species are not considered taxonomic acts and therefore do not require formal ICTV approval. Instead they will typically be accomplished by publication of a paper describing the virus isolate in the peer-reviewed virology literature. Descriptions of virus satellites, viroids and the agents of spongiform encephalopathies (prions) of humans and several animal and fungal species are included.
