ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Botourmiaviridae

María A Ayllón et al. J Gen Virol. 2020 May.

Abstract

The family Botourmiaviridae includes viruses infecting plants and filamentous fungi containing a positive-sense, ssRNA genome that can be mono- or multi-segmented. Genera in the family include: Ourmiavirus (plant viruses), and Botoulivirus, Magoulivirus and Scleroulivirus (fungal viruses). This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the taxonomy of the family Botourmiaviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/botourmiaviridae.

Keywords: Botourmiaviridae; ICTV Report; taxonomy.
