Anelloviridae taxonomy update 2023

Abstract

The family Anelloviridae comprises negative single-stranded circular DNA viruses. Within this family, there are 30 established genera. Anelloviruses in the genus Gyrovirus have been identified infecting various avian species, whereas those in the remaining 29 genera have been found primarily infecting various mammal species. We renamed the 146 anellovirus species with binomial species names, as required by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) using a "genus + freeform epithet" format.
