Virion Properties, Diagrams, and Taxon Etymology

Information on virus properties, the etymology of taxon names, and virion diagrams have all been updated to coincide with the new release of the virus taxonomy (MSL40).

Diagrams of virion morphology arranged by host and genome type at the family level provide an overview of the diversity of known forms. These diagrams are taken or adapted from the copyrighted ViralZone image library (ViralZone, SIB, Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, https://viralzone.expasy.org)
