Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Fifth Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), summarizes the proceedings and decisions reached by the ICTV at its meetings held at the International Congresses of Virology in Sendai (1984), Edmonton (1987) and Berlin (1990). This report has been organized in the same way as the previous ones (Wildy, 1971; Fenner, 1976; Matthews, 1979; 1982), yet it encompasses many more families and groups of viruses than previous reports, and it includes new tables, diagrams and keys. The officers and members of the ICTV study groups from 1984 to 1990 are listed, as the current ICTV statutes and rules of nomenclature. Information on the format for submission of new taxonomic proposals to the ICTV is also provided. Since the Fourth Report of the ICTV (1982), 19 new virus families and groups have been described. This report includes 2,430 viruses belonging to 73 families or groups, as well as virus satellites and viroids descriptions, but it does not include descriptions not approved by the ICTV. It now will be possible to publish such preliminary, and in some cases controversial, descriptions in the Virology Division pages of the Archives of Virology --this will allow virologists to carry on the kind of interim dialogue that is necessary for arriving at broad agreement on taxonomic matters.

Synopsis

The Fifth Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), summarizes the proceedings and decisions reached by the ICTV at its meetings held at the International Congresses of Virology in Sendal (1984), Edmonton (1987), and Berlin (1990). This report includes 2,430 viruses belonging to 73 families or groups, as well as as virus satellites and viroids descriptions. Each familiy description is providing all the information concerning particle properties, serological properties, and biological properties. The Fifth Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has been organized in the same way as the previous ones, yet it encompasses many more families and groups of viruses than previous reports. It includes diagrams grouped by their type of host, tables listing the viruses by alphabetical order, as well as by their host type and their type of nucleic acid and keys of family and group identification. The officers and menbers of the ICTV study groups from 1984 to 1990 are listed, as the current ICTV statuses and rules of nomenclature. Information on the format for submission of new taxonomic proposals to the ICTV is also provided. Indexes of viruses, taxonomic and authors' names are provided at the end of the report.
