The Polyomaviridae Study Group of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has recommended several taxonomical revisions, as follows: The family Polyomaviridae, which is currently constituted as a single genus (Polyomavirus), will be comprised of three genera: two containing mammalian viruses and one containing avian viruses. The two mammalian genera will be designated Orthopolyomavirus and Wukipolyomavirus, and the avian genus will be named Avipolyomavirus. These genera will be created by the redistribution of species from the current single genus (Polyomavirus) and by the inclusion of several new species. In addition, the names of several species will be changed to reflect current usage.
国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）的多瘤病毒研究小组建议进行以下几项分类修订：目前构成单一属（多瘤病毒）的多瘤病毒科，将由三个属组成：两个包含哺乳动物病毒，一个包含禽病毒。这两个哺乳动物属将被命名为正多瘤病毒属和 Wukipolyomavirus，禽病毒属将被命名为 Avipolyomavirus。这些属将通过从当前单一属（多瘤病毒）重新分配物种以及纳入若干新物种来创建。此外，还将更改几个物种的名称以反映当前的用法。
