Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: This article reports the changes to virus taxonomy approved and ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) in February 2019. Of note, in addition to seven new families, the ICTV has approved, by an absolute majority, the creation of the realm Riboviria, a likely monophyletic group encompassing all RNA viruses with positive-strand, negative-strand and double-strand virion RNA that use cognate RNA-directed RNA polymerases for replication.
