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.
Virus names, the choice of exemplar isolates, and virus abbreviations, are not official ICTV designations
