Recent evidence from genome sequence analyses demands a substantial revision of the taxonomy and classification of the family Baculoviridae. Comparisons of 29 baculovirus genomes indicated that baculovirus phylogeny followed the classification of the hosts more closely than morphological traits that have previously been used for classification of this virus family. On this basis, dipteran- and hymenopteran-specific nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPV) should be separated from lepidopteran-specific NPVs and accommodated into different genera. We propose a new classification and nomenclature for the genera within the baculovirus family. According to this proposal the updated classification should include four genera: Alphabaculovirus (lepidopteran-specific NPV), Betabaculovirus (lepidopteran-specific Granuloviruses), Gammabaculovirus (hymenopteran-specific NPV) and Deltabaculovirus (dipteran-specific NPV).
来自基因组序列分析的最新证据要求对杆状病毒科的分类学和分类进行重大修订。对29种杆状病毒基因组的比较表明，杆状病毒的系统发育比以前用于该病毒科分类的形态特征更紧密地遵循宿主的分类。在此基础上，双翅目和膜翅目特异性核型多角体病毒（NPV）应与鳞翅目特异性NPV分开，并归入不同的属。我们提出了杆状病毒科内各属的新分类和命名法。根据这一建议，更新后的分类应包括四个属：甲型杆状病毒属（鳞翅目特异性NPV）、乙型杆状病毒属（鳞翅目特异性颗粒体病毒）、丙型杆状病毒属（膜翅目特异性NPV）和丁型杆状病毒属（双翅目特异性NPV）。
