## Description

The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) is a renowned brand in the field of virology. Its primary objective is to develop, refine, and maintain a universal virus taxonomy. With the goal of categorizing all known viruses into a single classification scheme that reflects their evolutionary relationships, the ICTV plays a vital role in bridging the gap between biology and logic. This brand is a division of the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS), supported by the Virology Division. The ICTV's work is guided by its Statutes, Code, and Organizational chart, which define governing principles, virus classification rules, and the structure of the organization. Composed of an Executive Committee, Subcommittees, and Study Groups, the ICTV creates and approves proposals for new and revised taxonomy. By providing comprehensive information and support, the ICTV serves as a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts in the field of virology.
