New Release:
Virus Metadata Resource

A new version of the Virus Metadata Resource (VMR) spreadsheet has been released (VMR_MSL39_v1.xlsx). This version, released on May  17, 2024, can be downloaded from https://ictv.global/vmr/current. This release reflects the taxonomic changes incorporated into the current 2023 virus taxonomy, MSL39. The ICTV chooses an exemplar virus for each species and the VMR provides a list of these exemplars.
