| Within the genus Cosavirus,
there are five species,
Cosavirus A, Cosavirus B, Cosavirus D,
Cosavirus E and
Cosavirus F (Kapoor et al., 2008; Holtz et al.,
2008; Kapusinszky et al., 2012). The candidate species, 'Cosavirus C', has not been fully sequenced and
is defined as distinct based on 2C and 3CD analyses alone (Kapoor
et al., 2008). References Holtz, L.R., Finkbeiner, S.R., Kirkwood, C.D. and Wang, D. (2008). Identification of a novel picornavirus related to cosaviruses in a child with acute diarrhea.
