dc.description.abstractOn several occasions over the past century it has been proposed that Latinized (Linnaean) binomial names (LBs) should be used for the formal names of virus species, and the opinions expressed in the early debates are still valid. The use of LBs would be sensible for the current Taxonomy if confned to the names of the specifc and generic taxa of viruses of which some basic biological properties are known (e.g. ecology, hosts and virions); there is no advantage in flling the literature with formal names for partly described viruses or virus-like gene sequences. The ICTV should support the time-honoured convention that LBs are only used with biological (phylogenetic) classifcations. Recent changes have left the ICTV Taxonomy and its Code uncoordinated, and its aims and audience uncertain.en_AU
