International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses

Home

Welcome to ICTVonline!

The ICTV Ninth Report is now available!

Congratulations to everyone involved in this monumental effort. Preparation of the Ninth Report has encompassed 6 years of work, and has involved hundreds of virologists putting together the most up-to-date internationally accepted taxonomy and nomenclature of all viruses. At 1327 pages, it is the largest report ICTV has ever published including 6 orders, 87 families, 19 subfamilies, 349 genera and 2284 virus and viroid species. It can be ordered from Amazon.
