Naming genera after geographical locations. Proposal to emend Appendix 9 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes

Aharon Oren, Maria Chuvochina

Summary: Section E of Appendix 9 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes gives guidelines on forming adjectival specific and subspecific epithets reflecting the organism's geographical location. However, it does not cover naming genera after geographical locations. We propose amending Appendix 9 by providing recommendations on forming such names and discussing the implementation of the current wording.

Status of the SeqCode in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology

Markus Goeker, Edward R. B. Moore, Aharon Oren, Martha E. Trujillo

Summary: The recent publication of the alternative nomenclatural code SeqCode raises questions about how to treat names 'validly published' under that code in IJSEM. It is reiterated that IJSEM must adhere to the ICNP and assign a nomenclatural status to all prokaryotic names, including those 'validly published' under SeqCode. Such names should be marked as Candidatus names or printed in quotation marks.

Of mice and Mike-An underappreciated Ebola virus disease model may have paved the road for future filovirology

Jens H. Kuhn, Connie S. Schmaljohn

Summary: In 1998, the first immunocompetent laboratory mouse model of Ebola virus disease was developed by Mike Bray and colleagues. Despite being considered inferior to large nonhuman primate efforts initially, this model paved the way for the establishment of panel-derived cross-bred and humanized mouse models, as well as a golden hamster model. The global shortage of commercially available large nonhuman primates may lead to an increased focus on and improvement of rodent modeling, potentially replacing nonhuman primate studies in the short term and the future.

Viriforms-A New Category of Classifiable Virus-Derived Genetic Elements

Jens H. Kuhn, Eugene V. Koonin

Summary: The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has recognized viriforms as a new category of virus-derived genetic elements, distinct from viruses, viroids, and satellite nucleic acids. Viriforms are former viruses that have been integrated into the genomes of cellular hosts and perform functions important for the host's life cycle. These viriforms resemble viruses in appearance but do not package their own genomes, instead transporting host genetic material. They have been found in the genomes of parasitoid wasps and prokaryotes, and recent discoveries suggest their presence in mammalian genomes. This article outlines the properties of different viriform groups and the proposed classification frameworks by ICTV.

Pending Reorganization of Hantaviridae to Include Only Completely Sequenced Viruses: A Call to Action

Jens H. Kuhn, Steven B. Bradfute, Charles H. Calisher, Boris Klempa, Jonas Klingstrom, Lies Laenen, Gustavo Palacios, Connie S. Schmaljohn, Nicole D. Tischler, Piet Maes

Summary: The official classification of viruses by the ICTV requires complete or nearly complete genome sequences to be deposited in GenBank. This requirement is fairly new, resulting in fragmented or absent genomic sequence information for many classified viruses. This poses challenges for taxon-wide phylogenetic analyses, especially for viruses with segmented genomes. To address this issue for Hantaviridae, the community is urged to provide additional sequence information for incompletely sequenced classified viruses by mid-June 2023 to prevent possible declassification.

Summary: This study analyzed the Andes virus (ANDV) using whole-genome sequencing and identified four amino acid substitutions related to cell culture adaptation that attenuated the virus in an animal model. Additionally, three amino acid substitutions associated with efficient person-to-person transmission were identified. These findings suggest that single-nucleotide polymorphisms can be used to predict ANDV virulence and transmissibility.

Ectopic expression of murine CD163 enables cell-culture isolation of lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus 63 years after its discovery

Teressa M. Shaw, Sara M. Maloney, Kylie Nennig, Mitchell D. Ramuta, Andrew Norton, Rodrigo Ibarra, Paul Kuehnert, Margo Brinton, Kay Faaberg, Jens H. Kuhn, David H. O'Connor, Cody J. Warren, Adam L. Bailey

Summary: Arteriviruses, including lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV), have been identified as RNA viruses related to coronaviruses. LDV is a valuable model for studying immune failure and viral persistence in immunocompetent mice. This study demonstrates that the macrophage marker CD163 is essential for LDV infection and the establishment of an immortalized cell-culture system. Additionally, LDV infection can be completely resisted in knockout mice lacking the expression of mCD163. The findings contribute to the understanding of arterivirus infection and highlight the significance of CD163 utilization in this virus family.
