Type Species

List of Species Demarcation Criteria in the Genus

Because detailed comparative data are lacking in most cases, species parameters are not well defined. However, species distinctions indicated here are broadly based on host range and specificity, DNA restriction profiles, DNA sequences from various regions of the genome, and predicted protein sequence similarities.

List of Species in the Genus

The ICTVdB virus code and the viruses. Official virus species names are in italics. Tentative virus species names, alternative names ( ), isolates, strains, serotypes, subspecies, or rejected names are not italicized.

Tentative Species in the Genus

None reported.

List of Unassigned Viruses in the Family

None reported. The VIth ICTV Report listed numerous other nucleopolyhedroviruses and granuloviruses whose taxonomic status was unclear since either no isolates were available, or isolates were insufficiently characterized. These viruses were omitted from the VIIth and VIIIth Reports.

Similarity with other Taxa

None reported.

Derivation of Names

Baculo: from 'baculum,' meaning 'stick', which refers to the morphology of the nucleocapsid. Granulo: from 'granule' which refers to the relatively small size and granular appearance of GV occlusion bodies in infected cells. Polyhedro: from 'polyhedron,' which refers to the shape of occlusion bodies.
