Consequently, in , Koonin et al. The establishment of the realms was proposed to be justified based on the discovery of specific viral hallmark genes that can be used to evolutionary connect all their constituent viruses: 1 RdRps and RNA-directed DNA polymerases RdDps for most RNA viruses Riboviria ; 2 replication initiator proteins Reps of the His-hydrophobic-His HUH superfamily for all single-stranded DNA viruses; 3 vertical jelly-roll capsid proteins for many double-stranded DNA viruses; and 4 HKfold capsid proteins for viruses classified in Caudovirales and Herpesvirales.
If accepted by the ICTV, virus classification would finally begin to resemble the classification schemes of cellular organisms. Finally, procedural improvements might ensure improved communication of the ICTV with the virology community and thereby increased efficiency of the ICTV.
Such improvements may include automatic classification algorithms, fully online TaxoProp submissions and evaluation systems, harmonization of classification criteria across taxa, and faster ratification cycles.

Abstract Virus taxonomy is the classification of viruses into categories called taxa and the development and implementation of a standardized nomenclature for taxa. Glossary Classification The rational process of assigning viruses to taxa. Inclusion principle Viruses assigned to a lower taxon based on certain virus characteristics must also have the characteristics needed for classification into a higher-ranked taxon that includes the lower taxon. Monophyletic Belonging to a group of viruses that consists of all the descendants from a common ancestor.
Nomenclature The often controversial assignment of names to taxa. Polyphyletic Not being connected to a common ancestor. Polythetic Sharing many, but not all characteristics of a common core set of characteristics. Species Currently the lowest-ranked taxon in virus taxonomy. Taxon A man-made category for viruses that share certain characteristics. Taxonomy Virus classification into taxa and taxon nomenclature. Virions Particles produced by some, but not all viruses, during the viral lifecycle for transfer of the viral genome from one host cell to another.
History of Virus Taxonomy Early Taxonomic Developments — Virus taxonomy is a virology subspecialty that addresses the grouping classification of viruses physical entities into categories concepts called taxa and the development and implementation of a standardized system of naming nomenclature for taxa. Baltimore Classification In , David Baltimore published a working classification of viruses that is still used today in parallel with official virus taxonomy.
BCs were established based on the type of nucleic acid incorporated into virions, and thereby on the type of virus reproduction: 1. Current Virus Taxonomy —Present Influenced by the publication of the LHT system, the virology community clearly felt an urgent need for an official virus taxonomy.
Open in a separate window. Taxonomic Process Contrary to common perception, the ICTV does not impose taxa on the virology community but instead evaluates, votes on, and administers submitted taxonomic proposals TaxoProps originating from the virology community. Submitted TaxoProps undergo several steps of scrutiny: 1. Virus Classification Virus classification is the gathering of viruses into progressively more inclusive groups lower taxa included in higher-ranked taxa based on common genomic, phylogenetic, and phenotypic properties that, ideally, are proof of evolutionary relationships or descendance.
Differentiating Taxa and Viruses In virus taxonomy, viruses and taxa need to be strictly differentiated. Nomenclature Virus Taxa In biological taxonomies, nomenclature is the process of assigning specific, ideally unique, names to organisms e. Virus taxon nomenclature is regulated by the rules of the ICVCN, which stipulate, for instance, that 1. Table 2 Rank-specific suffixes for virus taxon names.

Future Developments Several steps are currently under discussion that, potentially, could bring virus taxonomy in harmony with other biological taxonomies.
