Welcome to the home of Picornaviruses
hosted by The Pirbright
Institute
The family
Picornaviridae
currently consists of 147 species grouped into 63 genera
(as of March 2020). Five new genera, each containing a single species, were
proposed in August 2020. A further six species have also been proposed in
existing genera. The number of species in each genus is shown
in brackets (+ those newly proposed).
The
Picornaviridae
pages have been updated to reflect the new taxonomy approved by the ICTV in March 2017 (Adams et al., 2017), February 2018 (King
et al., 2018), February 2019 (Walker et al., 2019) and March
2020. Thus the taxonomy is based on the
ICTV 10th Report Chapter -
Picornaviridae (Zell et al., 2017) and the
ICTV
Master Species List 2018.
Full Classification of the family Picornaviridae:
Realm: Riboviria
Kingdom: Orthornavirae
Phylum: Pisuviricota
Class: Pisoniviricetes
Order: Picornavirales
An important note on names and orthography:
-
ICTV approved genera and species names are
shown in italics, e.g. Hunnivirus A (except in menus
and page titles because of technical difficulties).
-
Proposed (i.e. a proposal has been submitted
to the ICTV) genera and species names are enclosed within double
quotation marks, e.g. "Acmevirus A".
-
Candidate genera and species names are
enclosed within single quotation marks, e.g. 'Acmevirus B'.
