08-24-2021-0826 - Satellites and prions are not classified as viruses but are assigned an arbitrary classification as seems useful to workers in the particular fields.

 Rules concerned with the classification of viruses shall also apply to the classification of viroids. The formal endings for taxa of viroids are the word viroid for species, the suffix -viroid for genera, the suffix -viroinae for sub-families, should this taxon be needed, and -viroidae for families.

Retrotransposons are considered to be viruses in classification and nomenclature. Satellites and prions are not classified as viruses but are assigned an arbitrary classification as seems useful to workers in the particular fields.

The ICTV has published reports of virus taxonomy about twice a decade since 1971 (listed below - "Reports"). The ninth ICTV report was published in December 2011;^[11] the content is now freely available through the ICTV website.^[12] Beginning in 2017 the tenth ICTV report will be published online on the ICTV website^[13] and will be free to access with individual chapters updated on a rolling basis. The 2018 taxonomy is available online.,^[14] including a downloadable Excel spreadsheet of all recognized species.

The database classifies viruses based primarily on their chemical characteristics, genomic type, nucleic acid replication, diseases, vectors, and geographical distribution, among other characteristics.

The International Committee on Nomenclature of Viruses (ICNV) was established in 1966, at the International Congress for Microbiology in Moscow, to standardize the naming of viruses.^[6] The ICVN published its first report in 1971.^[6] For viruses infecting vertebrates, the first report included 19 genera, 2 families, and a further 24 unclassified groups.^{[citation needed]}

The ICNV was renamed the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses in 1974.^[6]

DELTA (DEscription Language for TAxonomy) is a data format used in taxonomy for recording descriptions of living things. It is designed for computer processing, allowing the generation of identification keys, diagnosis, etc.^[1]

It is widely accepted as a standard and many programs using this format are available for various taxonomic tasks.

It was devised by the CSIRO Australian Division of Entomology in 1971 to 2000, with a notable part taken by Dr. Michael J. Dallwitz. More recently, the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) rewrote the DELTA software in Java so it can run in a Java environment and across multiple operating systems. The software package can now be found at and downloaded from the ALA site.^[2]

DELTA System[edit]

The DELTA System is a group of integrated programs that are built on the DELTA format. The main program is the DELTA Editor, which provides an interface for creating a matrix of characters for any number taxa. A whole suite of programs can be found and run from within the DELTA editor which allow for the output of an interactive identification key, called Intkey.^[3] Other powerful features include the output of natural language descriptions, full diagnoses, and differences among taxa.
