The Executive Committee of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has recently decided to modify the current definition of virus species (Code of Virus Classification and Nomenclature Rule 3.21) and will soon ask the full ICTV membership (189 voting members) to ratify the proposed controversial change. In this discussion paper, 14 senior virologists, including six Life members of the ICTV, compare the present and proposed new definition and recommend that the existing definition of virus species should be retained. Since the pros and cons of the proposal posted on the ICTV website are not widely consulted, the arguments are summarized here in order to reach a wider audience.
国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）执行委员会最近决定修改病毒种的现行定义（病毒分类和命名法规第 3.21 条），并将很快要求 ICTV 全体成员（189 名投票成员）批准这项有争议的拟议变更。在这份讨论文件中，包括 6 位 ICTV 终身会员在内的 14 位资深病毒学家对现行定义和拟议的新定义进行了比较，并建议保留病毒种的现行定义。由于 ICTV 网站上发布的提案的正反两方面意见没有得到广泛咨询，因此在此总结了这些论点，以便让更广泛的受众了解。
