Genus: Simiispumavirus

Genus: Simiispumavirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses classified in the genus Simiispumavirus circulate in a wide range of simian hosts including old world monkeys and apes, and new world monkeys (Rethwilm and Lindemann 2013). Virus phylogeny closely mirrors host phylogeny, reflective of long-term stable virus-host relationships.

Virion

See discussion in subfamily description.

Physicochemical and physical properties

Species demarcation criteria

Species demarcation criteria include virus-host co-phylogeny and differences in natural host range, as well as differences in genome and gene product sequences.
