Type Species |
(MMEV) |
The genus includes poxviruses of Coleoptera. Virions are ovoid, about 450 250 nm in size, with one lateral body and a unilateral concave core. Surface globular units are 22 nm in diameter. DNA is about 260-370 kbp in size.
List of Species Demarcation Criteria in the Genus
The primary species demarcation criterion is currently host range recognizing that molecular information is limited and available for only one member. In the future, genetic content, gene order, restriction enzyme polymorphisms (RFLPs) between members within a defined region of the genome and cross-hybridization analysis is likely to be useful. Serological criteria including plaque neutralization tests and virus neutralization are also used.
Official virus species names are in italics. Tentative virus species names, alternative names ( ), strains or serotypes are not italicized. Virus names, genome sequence accession numbers [ ], and assigned abbreviations ( ) are:
