Abstract

In October 2018, the order Mononegavirales was amended by the establishment of three new families and three new genera, abolishment of two genera, and creation of 28 novel species. This article presents the updated taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales as now accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).

Introduction

The virus order Mononegavirales was established in 1991 to accommodate related viruses with nonsegmented, linear, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA genomes classified into three families [12, 13]. According to the previous ratification vote held in March 2018, the order included eight families [7]. Amended/emended order descriptions were published in 1995 [4], 1997 [14], 2000 [15], 2005 [16], 2011 [5], 2016 [1], 2017 [2], and March 2018 [3]. Here, we present the changes that were proposed via an official ICTV taxonomic proposal (TaxoProp 2017.016M.A.v1.Mononegavirales_rev) at http://www.ictvonline.org/ in 2017 and were accepted by the ICTV Executive Committee (EC) in October 2018. These changes are now part of the official ICTV taxonomy as of October 2018.

Taxonomic changes at the order rank

In October 2018, the order Mononegavirales was expanded by three families. The family Artoviridae was created for the established genus Peropuvirus (moved out of Nyamiviridae) and six new species for Běihǎi barnacle virus 8 (BhBV-8), Běihǎi rhabdo-like virus 1 (BhRLV-1), Běihǎi rhabdo-like virus 2 (BhRLV-2), Húběi rhabdo-like virus 5 (HbRLV5), Húběi rhabdo-like virus 6 (HbRLV-6), and Húběi rhabdo-like virus 8 (HbRLV-8), all discovered in invertebrates [8, 17]. The family Lispiviridae was established to include the floating genus Arlivirus; inclusion of the novel species Hubei arlivirus, Odonate arlivirus, and Wuchang arlivirus for Húběi rhabdo-like virus 3 (HbRLV-3), Húběi odonate virus 10 (HbOV-10), and Wǔchāng romanomermis nematode virus 2 (WcRNV-2) discovered in invertebrates; and inclusion of the (renamed) species of the now abandoned free-floating genera Chengtivirus and Wastrivirus [8, 17]. The family Xinmoviridae was established for the floating genus Anphevirus, and six novel species were added to the genus for Bolahun virus (BLHV), Drosophila unispina virus 1 (DuniV-1), Húběi diptera virus 11 (HbDV-11), Húběi ortho tera virus 5 (HbOV-5), Húběi rhabdo-like virus 7 (HbRLV-7), and Shuāngào fly virus 2 (SgFV-2) discovered in invertebrates [6, 8, 9, 17].
