The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses has ratified a taxonomic proposal to change the name of the family Ophioviridae to Aspiviridae, and to change the names of species in the family to Blueberry mosaic associated ophiovirus, Citrus psorosis ophiovirus, Freesia sneak ophiovirus, Lettuce ring necrosis ophiovirus, Mirafiori lettuce big-vein ophiovirus, Ranunculus white mottle ophiovirus and Tulip mild mottle mosaic ophiovirus. These species are all members of the genus Ophiovirus, the genus name being unchanged.
