Virus Classification
Buchen-Osmund (C.) is the custodian for “International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses Database ICTVdB version November 4th, 2005 (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ICTVdb/index.htm) ICTVdB is a taxonomic database for virus sequence data used in GenBank and UniProt. The universal system of virus taxonomy now recognizes 5,811 virus species as listed in the 8th ICTV Report 2005. ICTV Reports are published every 4 years. Each virus isolate is uniquely identified in ICTVdB by a morphological virus decimal code. The ICTVdB database records genomic data, morphology, host range and epidemiology. The Fusillo Nature Classification System discards the ICTV morphology based Classification Decimal Code in favor of a HOST RANGE based virus decimal number to identify virus species and varieties.
Dioxyribonucleic Acid Virus (DNA) species can be either double stranded DNA (dsDNA) or single stranded DNA (ssDNA).

Prionovirus Protein Sythnesis Acid (PSA) Virus species have no DNA or RNA. Instead, they have protein acids that are used to manufacture proteins once the virus invades a host cell. The energy derived from the synthesis of proteins is used to replicate more protein acids. The new protein acids are the progeny of the PSA Virus reproductive cycle.

Halogen Archaic Bacteria Virus
Phylum Euryarchaeotavirus Broad Archaic Bacteria Viruses are found in sewage, in seawater sediments, in freshwater sediments and in the intestinal tracts of animals. Their hosts include both methane producing bacteria (methanogens) and halogen dwelling bacteria (halophils). Halogen Bacteria live in extremely salty environments and do not form methane. They live in sodium chloride salt factories, salt mines with water, and seawater brine. Molecular phylogenetic techniques have documented that methanogen and halophil viruses have similar RNA/DNA material even though they inhabit different environments.
