History of the ICTV Report
The ICTV has communicated its decisions to the international community through a series of published Reports. Between 1971 and 2012, nine ICTV Reports were published. Publication usually followed the formal approval of taxonomic proposals at plenary meetings of the ICTV held during International Congresses of Virology. These reports provide milestones by which the progress in virus taxonomy can be tracked.

AbbreviationsAbbreviationsIn addition to universally accepted abbreviations such as DNA and RNA, it is common practice to use abbreviations for virological and technical words in virology. In the Report, we have adopted commonly used abbreviations (e.g. CP for capsid protein and NC for nucleocapsid). These have been approved by the Executive Committee of ICTV for use in the ICTV Report but have no official status. The abbreviations will be used without definition throughout the book, except in a few instances where Study Group conventions (e.g. AcknowledgmentsAcknowledgmentsThe International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has the task of developing a single, universal taxonomic scheme for all viruses irrespective of host. The Executive Committee coordinates a series of subcommittees and study groups that draw on the experience of a large number of virologists throughout the world and their collective efforts are represented by this Report.
