Geminivirus strain demarcation and nomenclature
Claude M. Fauquet,Rob W. Briddon,Judith K. Brown,Enrique Moriones,John Stanley,M. Zerbini,Xueping Zhou +6 more
TL;DR: The status of geminivirus species and strain demarcation is reviewed as well as providing updated isolate descriptors for a total of 672 begomovirus isolates, and several others previously classified as “strains” have been upgraded to “species”.

Recommendations for the classification and nomenclature of the DNA-β satellites of begomoviruses
Rob W. Briddon,Judith K. Brown,Enrique Moriones,John Stanley,M. Zerbini,Xianjing Zhou,Claude M. Fauquet +6 more
TL;DR: Pairwise comparisons of all available full-length DNA-β sequences indicate that the minimum numbers of pairs occur at a sequence identity of 78%, which is proposed as the species demarcation threshold for a distinct DNA- β, and a naming convention for the satellites is proposed based upon the system already in use for geminiviruses.
