In March 2022, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was amended and emended. The phylum was expanded by two new families (bunyaviral Discoviridae and Tulasviridae), 41 new genera, and 98 new species. Three hundred forty-nine species were renam...

130 years ago, in 1892, our great compatriot Dmitry Iosifovich Ivanovsky (18641920) discovered a new type of pathogen viruses. Viruses have existed since the birth of life on Earth and for more than three billion years, as the biosphere evolved, they are included in interpopulation interactions with representatives of all kingdoms of life: archaea,...

In March 2021, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was amended and emended. The phylum was expanded by four families (Aliusviridae, Crepuscuviridae, Myriaviridae, and Natareviridae), three subfamilies (Alpharhabdovirinae, Betarhabdovirinae, a...

Introduction . Global climate changes affect the habitats of insects, including mosquitoes, which are carriers of dangerous natural focal infections. When mosquitos develop new territories, they create a potential threat to people who find themselves in these areas. In the Krasnodar Region, a stable population of Ae. albopictus mosquitoes was forme...

Emerging and reemerging infections pose a grave global health threat. The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic have demonstrated the importance of studying of zoonotic viruses directly in natural foci. For SARS-like coronaviruses, as well as for many other zoonotic pathogens (including hemorrhagic fevers and rabies...

... In 2023, four subfamilies (Actantavirinae ,Agantavirinae , Mammantavirinae , andRepantavirinae ), seven genera (Actinovirus ,Agnathovirus , Loanvirus , Mobatvirus ,Orthohantavirus , Thottimvirus , and Reptillovirus ), and 54 species in Hantaviridae were classified (TableS1 ) ( Figure 3 ). 40,41 Robina virus which was reported in Australia in 2017, may belong to theMobatvirus genus and needs to be reclassified (Figure3 ). 42 These taxa were consistent with the phylogenetic relationships in their RdRp genes (Figure3 ), 43 and they are largely consistent with their host distribution and conserved sequences at the genome termini. ...
... Currently, the family Paramyxoviridae includes eighty-six recognised species spread across four distinct subfamilies, the largest being the subfamily Orthoparamyxovirinae [31]. In addition to several important animal pathogens, this subfamily includes zoonotic pathogens such as the Hendra virus and Nipah virus, which can infect humans and other animals [32]. ...
