These taxonomic proposals were approved by the ICTV Executive Committee (EC)
at their
50th meeting in Washington DC in July 2018. They have now been ratified by
the whole ICTV membership (February 2019) and are now official taxonomy.
Please note: all taxon names must be considered
tentative until approved by the ICTV EC and ratified by the full ICTV membership
and names should be shown in quotes and non-italicized, e.g. the proposed
genus "Abcdivirus" and the proposed species "Abcdivirus A".
Create 1 new genus (Tottorivirus)
containing a single species (Tottorivirus A)
Please address comments on any of
the above proposals to
Roland
Zell
(chairman of the Picornaviridae Study Group) or to any of the
Study Group Members.
