Virus nomenclature below the species level: a standardized nomenclature for natural variants of viruses assigned to the family Filoviridae 2012-09-23 .txt text/plain 5519 229 40 Suffixes are proposed for individual names that clarify whether a given genetic variant has been characterized based on passage zero material (-wt), has been passaged in tissue/cell culture (-tc), is known from consensus sequence fragments only (-frag), or does (most likely) not exist anymore (-hist). Unfortunately, most ICTV Study Groups or other expert groups have not provided clear guidelines in the past, accepting strain and genetic variant names as they were suggested by different researchers in their publications rather than creating consistent nomenclature schemes that apply at least to all viruses of one family. To differentiate uncultured or passage 0 filoviruses for which near-complete genomic data are available from those that exist in culture, we propose to follow the suggestions of the Rotavirus Classification Working Group and to add the suffix ''-wt'' (for ''wild-type'') to their genetic variant names as outlined above. ./cache/cord-329145-424vv8a8.txt ./txt/cord-329145-424vv8a8.txt
