This document provides an overview of virus classification and the Baltimore classification system. It begins with an introduction to naming conventions for viruses and general approaches to classification. It then describes the Baltimore classification in detail, which divides viruses into 7 classes based on their genome type and replication strategy. The classification focuses on whether the viral nucleic acids are DNA or RNA, and if they are single- or double-stranded. Key viral families are listed as examples for each class.
A bacteriophage (informally, phage) is a virus that infects and replicates within a bacterium. The term is derived from "bacteria" and the Greek (phagein), "to devour". Bacteriophages are composed of proteins that encapsulate a DNA or RNA genome, and may have relatively simple or elaborate structures. Their genomes may encode as few as four genes, and as many as hundreds of genes. Phages replicate within the bacterium following the injection of their genome into its cytoplasm. Bacteriophages are among the most common and diverse entities in the biosphere.
Phages are widely distributed in locations populated by bacterial hosts, such as soil or the intestines of animals. One of the densest natural sources for phages and other viruses is sea water, where up to 9×108 virions per milliliter have been found in microbial mats at the surface,] and up to 70% of marine bacteria may be infected by phages. They have been used for over 90 years as an alternative to antibiotics in the former Soviet Union and Central Europe, as well as in France. They are seen as a possible therapy against multi-drug-resistant strains of many bacteria (see phage therapy). Nevertheless, phages of Inoviridae have been shown to complicate biofilms involved in pneumonia and cystic fibrosis, shelter the bacteria from drugs meant to eradicate disease and promote persistent infection

A picornavirus is a virus belonging to the family Picornaviridae, a family of viruses in the order Picornavirales. Vertebrates, including humans, serve as natural hosts. Picornaviruses are nonenveloped viruses that represent a large family of small, cytoplasmic, plus-strand RNA viruses with a 30-nm icosahedral capsid.
Viruses are small, acellular particles that can replicate only in a host cell. They are obligatory intracellular parasites.They
consist of a nucleic acid genome enclosed in a protective protein shell or capsidBacteriophage is the virus that infect bacteria.Bacteriophages were discovered by Frederick Twort(1915)and Felix d'Herelle(1917).
Poxviruses are brick or oval-shaped viruses with large double-stranded DNA genomes. Poxviruses exist throughout the world and cause disease in humans and many other types of animals. Poxvirus infections typically result in the formation of lesions, skin nodules, or disseminated rash.

3. Lesson Outcomes
• Understands the reasons on naming viruses
• Briefly discuss the classification of viruses
• Explain the Baltimore classification
• Explain the characteristics of RNA and DNA
viruses that cause human disease.
5. Nomenclature of Viruses
Various approaches, (do not obey the binomial
nomenclature) derived from:
1. Named after the diseases
eg. Measles virus, smallpox virus
2. Name after the places where the disease first
reported
eg. Newcastle disease virus, Ebola virus,
Norwalk virus, Bunyaviridae
3. Host and signs of disease
eg. Tobacco mosaic virus, cauliflower mosaic
virus brome mosaic virus
6. 4. Latin and Greek words
eg. Coronaviridae – “crown”
Parvoviridae – “small”
5. Virus discovers
eg. Epstein-Barr virus
6. How they were originally thought to be contracted
eg. dengue virus (“evil spirit”), influenza virus
(the “influence” of bad air)
7. Combinations of the above
eg. Rous Sarcoma virus

MIC208 - VIROLOGY
Reasons beyond classification
Classification of virus been determined by the
structural and chemical composition of virus
Are apply to all plant viruses, animal viruses and
bacterial viruses
Virus is acellular cell – cannot be categorised
using taxonomic classification
It used International Committee on Taxonomy
of Viruses (ICTV) to classify the viruses
10. 10
MIC208 - VIROLOGY
Before discovery
• Dermotropic – infected skin cell
• Neurotrophic – infected nerve cell
• Viscerotropic – infect organ of digestive tract
• Pneumotropic – infected respiratory system
11. 11
MIC208 - VIROLOGY
After discovery
Type and structure of their nucleic acids
Methods of replication
Host range
Chemical and physical characteristics
12. Classification
Viruses are not classified as members of the
kingdoms
Do not obey the biological taxonomy
Generally based on:
1. Classical - eg. animal, plant, bacterial virus
system - eg. naked or enveloped virus
2. Genomic - Baltimore classification
3. Serology - classification based on Diagnostic virology
- eg. Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) of chickens
(a coronavirus) – 3 different types present, these types have
significant antigenic differences, but perhaps very little genetic
or biological difference between these viruses.
13. Classification of Viruses
The following criteria are used to classify
viruses:
1. Morphology – structure of capsid
– presence or absence of envelope
2. Size of the virion
3. Type of host/host structures the virus infected
- Bacteriophages: infect bacterial cells
- Plant viruses infect plant cells
- Animal viruses are subgrouped by the tissues
they attack:
1. Dermotrophic: if they infect the skin
2. Neurotrophic: if they infect nerve tissue
4. Genome composition – DNA / RNA
– ds/ss DNA and ds/ss RNA
14. Classification of Viruses
1. Taxonomic groups – family, subfamily, genus and
species
2. The names of virus families (family) are italicized
- End in Latin suffix –viridae
3. The genera (genus) end in the suffix – virus
4. The species – English common name
15. Virus taxonomy
Order virales e.g Mononegavirales
Family viridae e.g. Orthomyxoviridae Herpesviridae
Subfamily virinae e.g. Alphaherpesvirinae
Genus e.g. influenzavirusA Simplexvirus
Species e.g. influenza A virus human
herpesvirus1
Informally:
Type e.g. herpes simplex virus
1
Strain e.g. influenza A/PR/8/34 SC16
In biology, binomial names are used. e.g Rattus rattus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In virology, this does not happen: Bacteriophage have
Tobacco etch potyvirus sounds OK their own rules
Influenza A influenzavirus A does not!
16. • Viruses are divided into three groups, based on the
morphology of the nucleocapsid and the arrangement of
capsomeres.
Symmetry of viruses
• Arrangement of capsomers in the virus.
• Two primary shapes of virus is rod and spherical.
• Rod shaped virus-helical symmetry
• Spherical virus-icosahedron
19. Symmetry of viruses
• 2- helical symmetry :
The virus particle is elongated or pleomorphic (not
spherical), and the nucleic acid is spiral. Caposomeres
are arranged round the nucleic acid.
• 3- complex symmetry:
The virus particle does not confirm either cubic or helical
symmetry.
23. Baltimore Classification of viruses
• The division of the viruses into classes based on genome
type and mode of replication and transcription
• Suggested by David Baltimore – Seven Baltimore classes.
• Major groups of viruses are distinguished first by their
nucleic acid content as either DNA or RNA
• RNA and DNA viruses can be single-stranded (ssRNA,
ssDNA) or double-stranded (dsRNA, ssDNA)
24. 7 class of Baltimore classification
Class Description of genome and Example of Example of animal
replication strategy bacterial virus
virus
I Double stranded DNA genome Lamda,T4 Herpesvirus, poxvirus
II Single stranded DNA genome ØX174 Chicken anemia virus
III Double stranded RNA genome Ø6 Reovirus
IV Single stranded RNA genome plus MS2 Poliovirus
sense
V Single stranded RNA genome Influenza virus,Rabies
minus sense virus
VI Single stranded RNA genome that Retrovirus
replicated with DNA intermediate
VII Double stranded DNA genome Hepatitis B virus
that replicates with RNA
intermediate
25. Class I
• Double-stranded (ds) DNA viruses are in class 1
• The production of mRNA and genome replication in such
viruses occurs as it would from the host genome.
Class II
• Single-stranded(ss) DNA viruses.
• These viruses form a double stranded DNA intermediate
during replication and this intermediate used for
transcription.
• RNA polymerase requires double-stranded DNA as
template.
26. Positive and Negative strand RNA viruses
• The production of mRNA and genome replication is
much different with RNA viruses (Class III-VI).
• mRNA is the complementary base sequence to the
template strand of DNA.
• In virology, mRNA is said to be plus(+) configuration.
• While its complement is said to be the minus (-)
configuration.
27. How does these viruses replicate?
• Cellular RNA polymerases do not catalyze formation of
RNA from an RNA template but from DNA template.
• RNA viruses whether plus, negative or double stranded
require a specific RNA-dependant RNA polymerase.
Class IV
• Positive-strand of RNA viruses
• Viral genome is of the plus configuration and hence
serve directly as mRNA.
• The viruses required other protein, therefore mRNA
encodes a virus specific and RNA dependent RNA
polymerase.
• Once synthesized, this polymerase makes
complementary minus strands of RNA and then use as
template to make more plus strand.
28. Class III and Class V
• Class III (double-stranded RNA viruses)
• Class V(negative strand RNA virus)
• mRNA must be first synthesized, however cells does not
have RNA polymerase.
• To circumvent ,these viruses contain enzyme in the
virion,enters cell along with the genomic RNA.
• Therefore, in this case complementary plus strand is
synthesized by RNA dependant RNA polymerase and
used as mRNA.
• Plus strand used as template to make more negative-
strand genome.
29. Class VI
• Single-stranded RNA genome that replicates with DNA
intermediate.
• This RNA virus require reverse transcriptase to copy the
information found in RNA to DNA.
Class VII
• Double-stranded DNA genome that replicates with RNA
intermediate.
• Required reverse transcriptase
• Mechanism producing mRNA is similar in virus Class I
30. Retroviruses: are enveloped viruses that have two
complete copies of (+) sense RNA. They also contain the
enzyme reverse transcriptase, which uses the viral RNA to
form a complementary strand of DNA, which is then
replicated to form a dsDNA
retro, latin for
“backward”
(Class IV) in Baltimore
Classification
31. Ambisense genome
• A virus genome composed of ssDNA or ssRNA
that is partly (+) sense and partly (-) sense.
•Example:
- Bunyaviridae ((-) sense RNA) and Arenavirus ((-)
sense RNA)
32. Baltimore Classification - Advantages
1. Can classify
between the (+)
strand RNA viruses
that do (Class VI)
and do not (Class
IV) undergo
reverse
transcription
2. Can classify
between the
dsDNA viruses that
do (Class VII) and
do not (Class I)
carry out reverse
transcription
33. General Properties of RNA Viruses
Many ssRNA viruses contain positive (+) sense RNA,
and during an infection acts like mRNA and can be
translated by host’s ribosomes.
Other ssRNA viruses have negative (-) sense RNA and
the RNA acts as a template during transcription to
make a complementary (+) sense mRNA.
Negative (-) sense RNA must carry a RNA polymerase
RNA dependent RNA polymerase –
within the virion. Class III, IV and V
RNA viruses must either carry enzymes or have genes
for those enzymes in order to copy RNA genomes after
infecting a host cell
