In 2007, the genus Nudivirus was proposed to include viruses similar to the Oryctes rhinoceros virus. [6] In 2013, Nudiviruses were classified as the family Nudiviridae. [7] Today, nudiviruses are assigned to the class Naldaviricetes that is composed of three other large dsDNA virus families: Baculoviridae, Hytrosaviridae and Nimaviridae.
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.
A marine virus is more likely to infect cooccurring organisms, those that live in the same region the virus lives in. [130] Therefore, biogeography is an important factor in a virion's ability to infect.
Cruliviridae is a family of virus in the order of Bunyavirales. Unlike other families in the order, this family is unique in the sense that it is only used to contain crustacean -infecting bunyaviruses.
Fish, shellfish, and crustacean species serve as natural hosts. Aquareoviruses in general have low or no pathogenicity for fish. However, some cause hemorrhagic disease, hepatitis and pancreatitis. Grass carp hemorrhage virus (causes hemorrhagic disease of grass carp) is the most pathogenic aquareovirus. There are seven species in this genus ...
Okavirus is a genus of enveloped positive-strand RNA viruses which infect crustaceans. [1] Host organisms are mostly shrimp.It is the only genus in the family Roniviridae. [2]
Crustaceans (from Latin meaning: "those with shells" or "crusted ones") are invertebrate animals that constitute one group of arthropods that are a part of the subphylum Crustacea (/ k r ə ˈ s t eɪ ʃ ə /), a large, diverse group of mainly aquatic arthropods including decapods (shrimps, prawns, crabs, lobsters and crayfish), seed shrimp, branchiopods, fish lice, krill, remipedes, isopods ...
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is the lone virus of the genus Whispovirus (white spot), which is the only genus in the family Nimaviridae. [1] It is responsible for causing white spot syndrome in a wide range of crustacean hosts.
