Abstract

In February 2019, following the annual taxon ratification vote, the order Mononegavirales was amended by the addition of four new subfamilies and 12 new genera and the 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 [20]. According to the previous ratification vote held in October 2018, the order included eight families [10]. Amended/emended order descriptions were published in 1995 [5], 1997 [21], 2000 [22], 2005 [23], 2011 [8], 2016 [1], 2017 [3], March 2018 [4], and October 2018 [15]. Here we present the changes that were proposed via official ICTV taxonomic proposals that were accepted by the ICTV Executive Committee (EC) in February 2019. Therefore, these changes are now part of the official ICTV taxonomy.
