The Retroviridae are a family of viruses that reverse transcribe their RNA genome and integrate the resulting double-stranded DNA copy into the genome of the host cell. Retroviruses are well-documented pathogens that have been associated with a variety of diseases. The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) currently lists 65 species of retroviruses. As required by the ICTV, we have converted the species nomenclature to a binomial format comprised of the genus and a freeform epithet. Assigning binomial species names to classify new retroviruses will be facilitated when following the epithet rules described herein.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
