Website. ictv .global. The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses ( ICTV) authorizes and organizes the taxonomic classification of and the nomenclature for viruses. [ 1][ 2][ 3] The ICTV develops a universal taxonomic scheme for viruses, and thus has the means to appropriately describe, name, and classify every virus taxon.
Chordopoxvirinae. Genus: Orthopoxvirus. Species. See text. Orthopoxvirus is a genus of viruses in the family Poxviridae and subfamily Chordopoxvirinae. Vertebrates, including mammals and humans, and arthropods serve as natural hosts. There are 12 known species in this genus.
Replication of the virus can also vary in one cell type, depending on the cell's current cell cycle phase. [101] The characteristic feature of the adeno-associated virus is a deficiency in replication and thus its inability to multiply in unaffected cells. Adeno-associated virus spreads by co-infecting a cell with a helper virus.
Antiviral drugs are a class of antimicrobials, a larger group which also includes antibiotic (also termed antibacterial), antifungal and antiparasitic drugs, [ 3 ] or antiviral drugs based on monoclonal antibodies. [ 4 ] Most antivirals are considered relatively harmless to the host, and therefore can be used to treat infections.
Orthomyxoviridae (from Greek ὀρθός, orthós 'straight' + μύξα, mýxa ' mucus ') [ 1] is a family of negative-sense RNA viruses. It includes seven genera: Alphainfluenzavirus, Betainfluenzavirus, Gammainfluenzavirus, Deltainfluenzavirus, Isavirus, Thogotovirus, and Quaranjavirus.
Plant viruses are viruses that have the potential to affect plants. Like all other viruses, plant viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that do not have the molecular machinery to replicate without a host. Plant viruses can be pathogenic to vascular plants ("higher plants") . Most plant viruses are rod-shaped, with protein discs forming ...
Human metapneumovirus. Human metapneumovirus ( HMPV or hMPV) is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the family Pneumoviridae [ 1] and is closely related to the Avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) subgroup C. It was isolated for the first time in 2001 in the Netherlands by using the RAP-PCR (RNA arbitrarily primed PCR) technique for ...
