Book: Rhabdoviridae
Family: Rhabdoviridae
Subfamily: Gammarhabdovirinae
Distinguishing features
The viruses assigned to a genus form a monophyletic clade in well-supported Maximum Likelihood or Maximum Clade Credibility trees using full-length L sequences. The subfamily includes a single genus for viruses infecting finfish.
Genus demarcation criteria
Demarcation of genera is based upon considerations of significant differences in genome sequence, antigenicity and ecological properties (such as natural host range and geographic distribution).
