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.
Viruses assigned to the genus Betaplatrhavirus form a distinct monophyletic group based on well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees inferred from complete L sequences. Members of the genus have been detected in flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes) or vertebrate tissue samples. They are distinct phylogenetically from rhabdoviruses assigned to the genera Alphaplatrhavirus and Gammaplatrhavirus.
