自国际病毒分类委员会(ICTV)疱疹病毒研究组的第一份报告以来,已经过去了10多年[-187]。在该出版物中,研究小组将疱疹病毒科命名为疱疹病毒科,建立了三个亚科,即α疱疹病毒亚科、β疱疹病毒亚科和γ疱疹病毒亚科,并提供了将疱疹病毒分类为这些亚科的指南。自那次出版以来,ICTV已经批准了以前疱疹病毒研究小组的建议,建立了几个属。更重要的是,从疱疹病毒的分类学和分类的角度来看,在过去10年中积累了大量关于疱疹病毒的新信息。因此,(a)已经发现了大量新的疱疹病毒,(B)少数疱疹病毒被证明是污染物,最有可能来源于含有牛疱疹病毒的小牛血清,(c)已经对几种疱疹病毒基因组进行了测序,(d)已经在家族和各个亚科中鉴定出许多高度保守的基因,以及(e)我们至少对疱疹病毒分类任务所面临的问题有了更好的理解。本文更新了1981年的报告。
More than 10 years have elapsed since the first report of the International Committee for the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Herpesvirus Study Group [-187]. In that publication the Study Group designated Herpesviridae as the name of the herpesvirus family, erected three subfamilies, the Alphaherpesvirinae, Betaherpesvirinae, and Gammaherpesvirinae, and provided guidelines for the classification of herpesviruses into these subfamilies. Since that publication, the ICTV has approved the recommendation of previous Herpesvirus Study Groups to erect several genera. More important from the point of view of taxonomy and classification of herpesviruses, considerable amounts of new information regarding herpesviruses have accumulated in the past 10 years. Thus,(a) a large number of new herpesviruses has been discovered,(b) a few herpesviruses turned out to be contaminants, most likely derived from calf serum containing a bovine herpesvirus,(c) several herpesvirus genomes have been sequenced,(d) many highly conserved genes have been identified both within the family and in the individual subfamilies, and (e) we have a much better understanding at least of the problems facing the task of classifying herpesviruses. This paper updates the 1981 report.
