The genus Kobuvirus consists of two species,
Aichi virus
and Bovine kobuvirus. A third candidate
species has recently been described in pigs (Porcine
kobuvirus). Recently, two further candidate species,
Canine kobuvirus and
Murine kobuvirus, have
been described.
Recently, other kobu-like viruses have been identified in
humans
and bats.
Their taxonomic status has yet to be decided.
