ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Polymycoviridae 2022, Journal of General Virology, 103:001747
New taxonomy proposals for 2022 can now be submitted. Templates for submitting proposals are available from https://ictv.global/proposal_templates/. These 2022 templates MUST be used for all submissions. Please download all four files and read the Help file for detailed information on the submission process.
The process of ratifying the next update to the ICTV taxonomy is underway. ICTV Members (consisting of Executive Committee (EC) Members, Subcommittee Members, Study Group Chairs, Life Members, and National Members) are currently voting to ratify the proposals discussed and approved by the EC during its 53rd meeting in July, 2021. The EC has approved 172 separate proposals describing thousands of proposed taxonomic changes for consideration by the ICTV membership.
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.

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.
