Systematic genome analysis enables long-overdue taxonomic reorganization of genus Orthoflavivirus; potential assignment of over 50 new species

Peter Simmonds K, Martin Beer, Nicolás Bejerman, Jens Bukh, Anamarija Butković, Agathe M. G. Colmant, Humberto Debat, J Felix Drexler, Amit Kapoor, Jens H. Kuhn, Volker Lohmann, Donald B. Smith, Jack T. Stapleton, Nikos Vasilakis

The paper proposes a genetic divergence threshold for demarcating orthoflavivirus species, identifying 25 new Euflavivirus and 33 new Fusivirus species.
