  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.
