Naming virusesAnimal viruses1)Diseases that they cause:
small pox, foot and mouth disease, hepatitis
2)Places where virus was first identifiedNorwalk virus, West Nile virus, Hanta virus
3) OtherOrgan virus was isolated from: adnoids -
AdenovirusSin Nombre
Plant viruses an many insect viruses (two components)
1) Host2) Disease
Tomato bushy stunt virusCricket paralysis virus

Classification and Taxonomy
Classical: morphology
Physical and chemical composition
Genetic relatedness
Modern: Phylogenetic, based on nucleic acid sequence analysis.
1. Disease symptomsUseful in clinical situations
2. Host organismimplies a fixed link between virus and host-Small pox, HBV
3. Physical structure of the virus particleEnvelope vs no envelopeHelical or isocahedral
Alls these approaches fail to predict fundamental features of the viruses
Classical criteria for classification of animal
viruses
Modern Criteria for classification
Based on genome composition and structure
allows you to: 1) deduce the basic steps that must take place to produce mRNA2) simplifies comprehension of the life cycle of virus
Baltimore classification
Traditional classification generate thousands of distinct entities but based on genomes can be classified into 7 groups
Classification and Nomenclature
ICTV-International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (meets every 4 years).
Considerations:– Host range (eukaryote or prokaryote, animal, plant etc.) – Morphological features (enveloped, shape of capsid)– Nature of genome
Family
• A group of genera with common characteristics.
• Capitalized, Italicized, and end in -viridae.
Examples:– Picornaviridae (picornavirus family is also
acceptable).– Herpesviridae (herpesvirus family).– Flaviviridae (flavivirus family)
Origins of family names1) Symptoms or disease caused by viruses
Herpes: produce scaly (snake skin) lesionsPox: infections produce pox lesions Papilloma:infections result in papilla (bumps on skin), e.g. wartsFlavi: Latin for yellow
2) Sites of infectionAdeno: infections of respiratory tract
3) Physical characteristics of the virusesPicorna: Pico (small) + RNAToga: wearing a toga
Corona: wearing a crownRetro: use retrotranspositionFilo: Look fibrous
4) Combination Hepadna: hepatitis + DNA
Subfamilies
• Groups within some large families. • Capitalized, Italicized, end in -virinae. • Examples
– Alphaherpesvirinae– Betaherpesvirinae– Gammaherpesvirinae.
Genus• A group of virus species sharing common characteristics. • Capitalized, Italicized, ends in -virus.
type member: a single virus designated by the ICTV that serves as a reference for the genus
Example from Flaviviridae: • Flavivirus-yellow fever virus• Pestivirus- Bovine Diarrhea virus 1 • Hepacivirus-Hepatitis virus C (HCV)

Species• A cluster of strains from a variety of sources
or a population of strains from one particular source, all of which have in common a set pattern of stable properties that separates the cluster from other clusters or strains.
• Not capitalized, unless a geographical location. • Not italicized.
Examples: – poliovirus – human immunodeficiency virus– West Nile virus
Taxonomy: two examples
Example 1: herpes simplex virus 1 Family: Herpesviridae or herpesvirus family
Subfamily: Alphaherpesvirinae; Genus: Simplexvirus;
»Species: herpes simplex virus 1.
Taxonomy: two examples
Example 2: Poliovirus Family: Picornaviridae or picornavirus family;
Subfamily: None; Genus: Enterovirus;
»Species: poliovirus
Further breakdowns not recognized by the ICTV
• Strain- different lines of isolates of the same virus. – Example: Isolated from different geographical locations.
• Type- different serotype (different antigenic specificity) of the same virus. – Example: Influenza type A or B. There may also be “subtypes”
within a particular type.
• Group- sub-category of species, division often based on genomic sequence similarities or origin. – Example: HIV group M (Main), N (Neither M or O), or O (Outlier). – There may also be “subgroups” (sometimes called clades) within a
particular group (subgroups A-J of group M HIV).
• Varient-Virus whose phenotype differs from original wild type strain but where the genetic basis for the difference is not known.
Common features : 1) do not encodes enzymes required for replication
2)therefore require coinfection with a conventional (helper) virus
3) Satellite genome is significantly different from the helper virus
4) May affect replication of the helper virus.
5) May increase or decrease severity of disease
Satellite virus and nucleic acids
Satellites viruses Encodes structural proteins which form the viral capsid
They rely on the helper virus replicative machinery to replicate their genomes.
Examples : adeno associated virus (helper: adenovirus)

Satellite nucleic acids
- encode only nonstructural proteins or no proteins at all.
– rely upon a helper virus for replication, and caspid formation.
– often found in plants.
DI ParticlesDefective interfering particle: A virus that lacks part of its genome and interferes with the replication of a standard virus.
1. Require helper virus
2. Derived from helper virus: They tend to be deletion mutants that have lost their ability to encode proteins, but retain their ability to be replicated by the helper virus replicative machinery. (defective)
3. Interfere with helper virus replication by their ability to out compete for helper virus resources.
