Binomial nomenclature for virus species: a consultation

@JollyMineCraftr https://t.co/Vo1s9kic4W

@stgoldst @HelenBranswell @jjmcdona @DrewQJoseph As for engaging the scientific community in the change to binomial names, an article, "Binomial nomenclature for virus species: a consultation" was published in 2019 in Archives of Virology: https://t.co/8qD

Why doesn't #monkeypox have a new name yet? @ConversationEDU https://t.co/fcXRI5z2C9 https://t.co/gqjX1uQuOY

This clears things up a little - where basically the answer is "virus nomenclature rules aren't applied consistently" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/bOqdHsquM7

@SusannaLHarris I agree with this take—a classic #TWiV #ScienceFight! Virocells are alive. We should start giving Latinized binomial names to viral species, for this and other reasons. We probably will, very soon! #virusSpeciesBinomials https://t.co/7RtpX

@Olivier_LG @Prof_GD_Foster @WHO As I understand it's only the virus species name that would be changed by this, ie, 'Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus' could change. SARS-CoV-1 & the new virus name SARS-CoV-2 will remain whatever i

I would not agree with "idiots". Perhaps "inconsiderate", but then this isn't true either since they are actually considering various options, and consulting. See https://t.co/aMywCCyeYN

@Prof_GD_Foster While I don't expect to change your mind, I feel compelled to point out that no one is proposing new names for *physical viruses*: “this system would relate only to the formal names of virus *species* and not to the names of viruses.” https

@Prof_GD_Foster Apart from the name-calling (again), this isn't correct. The consultation is for all viruses and it suggests three different options of binomials: 1. Genus + Latin or Latinized epithet 2. Genus + alphanumeric epithet 3. Genus + freeform epi

Sure, let's make old papers impossible to search and undo decades of work describing families in a way that makes sense...? Interesting concept but there are way more worthwhile efforts this time could be devoted to.

I'd say ICTV's work has been controversial to put it mildly. The half-finished mess left on NCBI by transitioning to multi-sub-layered taxonomy is sufficient argument for why practical efforts should take precedence. Maybe sort out unclassified viruses int
