Note: Dark green (online version only) depicts current true binomial names and their Linnaean counterparts; light green (only version only) depicts current binomial-like names and their Linnaean counterparts; purple (online version only) depicts current non-binomial names and their Linnaean counterparts.
aThese names are for illustration purposes only and may not be the same as the names that ICTV Study Groups would officially propose if a Linnaean binomial species naming convention were implemented.
bFor species names referring to host names of their virus members, we used the singular possessive of the lowest taxon these hosts belong to.
cFor species names referring to disease caused by their virus members, we used Latin translations for the disease names.

“lettuce-killing”.
elactucamaculante
“lettuce-sullying”.
fcerealisborei
“of the northern cereal”.
gbubulifebris
“of the bovine fever”.
