Virus Taxonomy

The ICTV link below houses the Current Taxonomy Releases on all virus groups including invertebrate viruses and links to Historical Taxonomy Releases. The site also includes information on the code of virus classification and how to write virus names. It is a valuable resource for all those working on invertebrate viruses.
