This report summarises the taxonomic proposals that were ratified by ICTV members. Note that in accordance with ICTV convention, all approved taxon names are italicized. The proposals are listed by ICTV Subcommittee, and then the filename as posted on-line. Each proposal is formally cited so that a list of the authors appears in the References. This provides a means of acknowledging the authors’ efforts and also links to the specific proposal on the ICTV website. These documents remain available for any who wish to see details of the viruses assigned to the new taxa or any other details of the proposals.

Conclusion

All of the taxonomic proposals listed above were unanimously approved by the 80 members who voted (a return rate of 54%). The general proposal 2015.001aG [76] to modify the taxonomic code to disallow diacritics and other non-standard characters in taxon names was rejected by some but nevertheless received majority approval (54 in favour, 19 against and 7 abstentions). The changes listed above are now part of the official ICTV taxonomy and represent changes to the taxonomy published in the Ninth Report [136] and are in addition to changes approved in February 2012 [137], February 2013 [138], March 2014 [139], and February 2015 [140]. An up-to-date list of all approved taxa can be found on the ICTV online web site: http://www.ictvonline.org/msl.htm.
