Virus Taxonomy: Classification and Nomenclature of Viruses : Seventh Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of VirusesThis seventh report is a reference for virus taxonomy and nomenclature. It is aimed at anyone in the field of virology. It builds on the accumulated data of its six predecessors and records the proceedings of the committee since 1995, including decisions reached at the Tenth International Congress of Virology held in 1996, and the mid-term meetings in 1997 and 1998. The expanded and revised text contains 30 per cent new taxa, including two major new contributions on the phylogenetic relationships between viruses and application of the virus species concept throughout the virus world. Each virus is organized by family, with diagrams of genome organization and virus replication cycle where known. |
