While doing some checks compiling a sequence database based on ICTV VMR40  (VMR_MSL40.v1.20250307.xlsx)  I noticed two pairs of spieces shown below which reference the same Genbank accessions.   I wondered what is happening.  Does anyone know? 

Isolate ID Species Sort Species ICTV_ID Virus name(s) Virus GENBANK accession
VMR1007819 7842 Begomovirus sidapallidi ICTV202009131 Sida chlorotic leaf virus DNA-A: MN013784; DNA-B: MN013785
VMR1030369 7838 Begomovirus sidaflavusfolii ICTV202420470 sida chlorotic leaf vrius DNA-A: MN013784; DNA-B: MN013785
           
VMR1030156 2566 Trabzonvirus APT65 ICTV202420627 Aeromonas phage APT65 OP491958.1
VMR1024672 4518 Aquaneticvirus ApT65 ICTV202317828 Aeromonas phage APT65 OP491958

Thank-you for noticing these errors. The error in the Begomovirus species have been corrected in proposal 2024.010PX.Geminiviridae_Begomovirus_18nsp_Error_Correction (Available from the Approved Proposals menu link on this web site; https://ictv.global/files/proposals/approved) . This proposal deletes the species, Begomovirus sidaflavusfolii.

The Aeromonas phage duplicate accession numbers is fixed in proposal 2024.015BX.Grimontviridae_2ng_1mg_2ns_Error_Correction. This proposal abolishes the genus Trabzonvirus and the duplicated species,  Trabzonvirus APT65. 

NOTE that these error corrections have not yet been incorporated into MSL 40 or the current VMR. This will take place sometime in the next several weeks.

Best,

Elliot
