List of Species Demarcation Criteria in the Genus
Demarcation criteria in the genus are:
Particle length,
Host range,
Capsid symmetry,
Antigenic properties, and
DNA conformation and ratios of nucleotides per subunit.
An individual species in this genus is distinguishable by its host range, major CP sequence, and capsid symmetry.
For example, the species Ff includes strains fd, f1, and M13 which have the same host range, capsid symmetry, and CP
sequence (their DNA sequences differ less than ~1.5%). Although mutations, natural or otherwise, might dramatically
affect virion length, ratios of nucleotides to subunits, DNA conformation, and antigenic properties of these strains
(as in phage display work), species boundaries are not likely to be crossed. Inoviruses If1, IKe, and I2-2 have the
same capsid symmetry and very similar sequences, but their host ranges differ, so they are different species.
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.
Virus codes, virus names, genome sequence accession numbers [ ] and assigned abbreviations ( ), are:
Species, their serotypes, strains and isolates
An asterisk after the abbreviation indicates that capsid symmetry has been assigned; for those in group 1 it is C5S2; for those in groups 2 and 4 it is C1S5.4
