Cover Story: The Rhabdoviridae is a large family of negative-sense RNA viruses that includes important pathogens of fish and marine mammals. Recent revisions of the taxonomic classification of rhabdoviruses, implemented by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, include establishment of three new genera (Cetarhavirus, Siniperhavirus, Scophrhavirus) and seven new species. This has allowed classification of all rhabdoviruses infecting fish or marine mammals for which coding-complete sequences are currently available. The expanding number of viral sequences obtained from metagenomic sampling without associated virus neutralization data has increased reliance on amino acid sequence divergence for virus species demarcation. A taxonomic conundrum presented by phylogenetic analyses of RNA-directed RNA polymerase sequences of fish viruses assigned to the genus Novirhabdovirus is also discussed. View this paper
