Welcome to the new ICTV web site. This new web site will modernize the ICTV data access infrastructure to provide a stable, responsive, scalable information technology platform based on modern, cloud- based, open-source systems. This infrastructure will provide an easy-to-use web-based platform supporting significant enhancements to our ability to provide information and tools on virus classification and taxonomy.
In this video we provide a tutorial on how to use the ICTV Find the Species tool. Have you ever wanted to find the official ICTV species name for a virus when all you have is a disease name, common name, or isolate id? The "Find the Species" tool provides the current taxon name (species or higher taxonomic rank) for a virus when you enter a full or partial name into the search box. It uses current and past databases from the ICTV (MSL and VMR lists), NCBI, and the Disease Ontology to make the connection with a taxon name.
