The results of the meetings of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, held in Madrid, September 1975, are briefly reported: rules of viral nomenclature, composition of the new Executive Committee, and a list of the names so far officially agreed. Introduction The International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), which is a committee of the Section on Virology of the International Association of Microbiological Societies (IAMS), completed a round of meetings during the…

The new version of the Rules has been designated as a Code, in line with how the nomenclature of other biological organisms is controlled, and the author would welcome comment from the virological community to assist with this refinement process.

This chapter discusses about taxonomy and classification of viruses. For viruses, the process of comparative analysis plays a critical role in increasing our overall knowledge of the molecular…
Modifications to the rules for virus nomenclature
- Environmental ScienceArchives of Virology
- 2005
It is unlikely that the new Rules for Virus Nomenclature are the best that can be devised and it is hoped that feedback from the virological community to members of the Executive Committee of ICTV wilt result in further refinements.
50 years of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses: progress and prospects
- PsychologyArchives of Virology
- 2016
A brief history of the ICTV is presented, showing how it has adapted to advancements in knowledge of virus diversity and the methods used to characterize it, and recent developments that are facilitating substantial changes in the operations and promoting dialogue with the virology community are outlined.
The current composition of ICTV

Evolution and Molecular Biology of Luteoviruses
- Biology
- 1990
The number of members of the luteovirus group has been reduced to 12 and will probably decrease further as more antisera, cDNA probes, and genomic sequences become available and the relationships of these viruses are being reevaluated on the basis of multiple traits that include host range, serology, nucleic acid homologies, and vector relationships.
