Finding a Species Name using the Virus Metadata Resource (VMR)

Note that the species names, Morbilllivirus hominis and Orthorubulavirus parotitidis, are not yet part of the official virus taxonomy. They were ratified by the ICTV Executive Committee in July, 2022 and will only become official following ratification in Spring, 2023. At that time they will replace the current species names, Measles morbillivirus and Mumps orthorubulavirus as a part of MSL #38.
