Genus: Iflavirus

Distinguishing features

Iflavirus infections are limited to arthropods, predominantly within the class Insecta.

 

Species demarcation criteria

Sequence identity at the amino acid level between the capsid proteins of isolates and strains of a species is above 90%. Note that, by this definition, Laodelphax striatella honeydew virus 1 and Laodelphax striatellus iflavirus 2 (related, unclassified species) are the same species. The Iflaviridae family is expanding rapidly and will likely undergo revision in the near future.

 

Member species

 

Derivation of names

Ifla: siglum derived from the type species, Infectious flacherie virus.
