我们建议国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）对病毒物种的正式定义应扩大范围，删除当前定义中的限制性词“多形”，以便任何字符都可以用来定义物种。这一变化将使病毒物种的定义与细胞生物的物种定义保持一致，并扩大可用于描述病毒物种的特征范围。
We propose that the formal definition of a virus species by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) should be broadened by removing the restrictive word "polythetic" from the current definition, so that any characters can be used to define species. This change will bring the definition of virus species into line with the species definitions of cellular organisms and broaden the range of characters available for describing virus species.
