The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) currently recognizes three genera and seven species as part of the mononegaviral family Filoviridae. Eight distinct filoviruses (Bundibugyo virus, Ebola virus, Lloviu virus, Marburg virus, Ravn virus, Reston virus, Sudan virus, and Taï Forest virus) have been assigned to these seven species. This chapter briefly summarizes the status quo of filovirus classification and focuses on the importance of differentiating between filoviral species and filoviruses and the correct use of taxonomic and vernacular filovirus names and abbreviations in written and oral discourse.
国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）目前将三个属和七个种认定为单负股病毒科丝状病毒科的一部分。八个不同的丝状病毒（邦布病毒、埃博拉病毒、洛维病毒、马尔堡病毒、拉文病毒、雷斯顿病毒、苏丹病毒和泰森林病毒）已被分配到这七个种中。本章简要总结了丝状病毒分类的现状，重点介绍了区分丝状病毒种和丝状病毒以及在书面和口头语中正确使用分类和通俗丝状病毒名称和缩写的重要性。
