国际病毒分类委员会 (ICTV) 执行委员会认识到需要对病毒物种进行标准化命名。本文阐述了建立二项式命名法的案例，并介绍了不同命名格式的优点和缺点。执行委员会明白，采用二项式系统将产生重大的实际后果，并在做出任何改变现有命名法的决定之前邀请病毒学界发表评论。执行委员会将在 2020 年 10 月举行的下一次会议上决定是否批准标准化二项式系统时考虑这些意见。请注意，该系统仅与病毒物种的正式名称有关，与病毒的名称无关。
The Executive Committee of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) recognizes the need for a standardized nomenclature for virus species. This article sets out the case for establishing a binomial nomenclature and presents the advantages and disadvantages of different naming formats. The Executive Committee understands that adopting a binomial system would have major practical consequences, and invites comments from the virology community before making any decisions to change the existing nomenclature. The Executive Committee will take account of these comments in deciding whether to approve a standardized binomial system at its next meeting in October 2020. Note that this system would relate only to the formal names of virus species and not to the names of viruses.
