The Fifth Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of
Viruses (ICTV), summarizes the proceedings and decisions reached by
the ICTV at its meetings held at the International Congresses of
Virology in Sendai (1984), Edmonton (1987) and Berlin (1990). This
report has been organized in the same way as the previous ones
(Wildy, 1971; Fenner, 1976; Matthews, 1979; 1982), yet it
encompasses many more families and groups of viruses than previous
reports, and it includes new tables, diagrams and keys. The
officers and members of the ICTV study groups from 1984 to 1990 are
listed, as the current ICTV statutes and rules of nomenclature.
Information on the format for submission of new taxonomic proposals
to the ICTV is also provided. Since the Fourth Report of the ICTV
(1982), 19 new virus families and groups have been described. This
report includes 2,430 viruses belonging to 73 families or groups,
as well as virus satellites and viroids descriptions, but it does
not include descriptions not approved by the ICTV. It now will be
possible to publish such preliminary, and in some cases
controversial, descriptions in the Virology Division pages of the
Archives of Virology --this will allow virologists to carry on the
kind of interim dialogue that is necessary for arriving at broad
agreement on taxonomic matters.
