The is a large family of negative-sense (-) RNA viruses that includes important pathogens of ray-finned fish and marine mammals. As for all viruses, the taxonomic assignment of rhabdoviruses occurs through a process implemented by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). A recent revision of taxonomy conducted in conjunction with the ICTV Study Group has resulted in the establishment of three new subfamilies (, , and ) within the , as well as three new genera (, , and ) and seven new species for viruses infecting fish or marine mammals. All rhabdovirus species have also now been named or renamed to comply with the binomial format adopted by the ICTV in 2021, comprising the genus name followed by a species epithet. Phylogenetic analyses of L protein (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase) sequences of (-) RNA viruses indicate that members of the genus (subfamily ) do not cluster within the , suggesting the need for a review of their current classification.
弹状病毒科是一个大型的负链（-）RNA病毒家族，其中包括硬骨鱼和海洋哺乳动物的重要病原体。对于所有病毒而言，弹状病毒的分类归属是通过国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）实施的一个过程来进行的。最近与ICTV弹状病毒研究小组联合进行的一次分类学修订，导致在弹状病毒科内建立了三个新亚科（核弹状病毒亚科、粒弹状病毒亚科和正弹状病毒亚科），以及三个新属（西格马弹状病毒属、诺拉弹状病毒属和塔图弹状病毒属）和七个感染鱼类或海洋哺乳动物的新病毒种。现在，所有弹状病毒种也都已被命名或重新命名，以符合ICTV在2021年采用的双名法格式，即属名后接种名加词。对负链RNA病毒的L蛋白（RNA依赖性RNA聚合酶）序列进行的系统发育分析表明，核弹状病毒属（核弹状病毒亚科）的成员并不聚集在弹状病毒科内，这表明有必要对其当前分类进行审查。
