“…The ICTV Study Group on Comoviridae has addressed this question and proposed that several viruses that were previously considered ''atypical nepoviruses'' should be included into two newly created genera, Cheravirus and Sadwavirus, which so far could not be assigned to a family. These taxonomy proposals were approved by ICTV in 2003 [23,24,29]. The rationale for the creation of these genera is given below with respect to a list of criteria, and discussed in the light of newly published data.…”

“…Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent of acute hepatitis in humans. HEV has recently been classified into the genus Hepevirus of the family Hepeviridae [Mayo and Ball, 2006]. HEV has no envelope and a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome of approximately 7.2-kb in length [Tam et al, 1991].…”
