| The species Simian sapelovirus consists of
three virus types isolated from monkeys: i) simian virus (SV) 2; ii)
SV49; and iii) SV16, SV18, SV42, SV44 and SV45. It is proposed to call
these simian sapelovirus (SSV) 1, SSV-2 and SSV-3. Note: I had
originally designated SV16, etc. as SSV-2 and SV49 as SSV-3, however, in
a recent publication (Victoria et al., 2008) the genome
sequence of a virus closely related to SV49 was described as SSV-2.
Therefore I have swapped the names of SSV-2 and SSV-3 around to confirm
to the published designations. References Oberste, M.S., Maher, K. and Pallansch, M.A. (2002). Molecular phylogeny and proposed classification of the simian picornaviruses. J. Virol. 76: 1244-1251.
