As the first group members were obtained in the pre-sequencing era, their classifications (group attribution, species differentiation) were originally based on serological reactions. At the same time, the accuracy of the typing in each case depended on the variety of viruses that the researcher had as a comparison panel. With the advent of sequencing techniques, it has become customary to use identity thresholds (nucleotide or amino acid composition) as demarcation criteria for the interspecific differentiation of viral species. Identity thresholds are determined by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) and are regularly reviewed. Similar criteria were established for the Orthobunyavirus genus, which includes members of the Bunyamwera serological group. On the basis of these criteria, the species attributions of some members of the serological group need to be clarified. For this purpose, we analyzed sequences (available in NCBI GenBank) of viruses belonging to the Bunyamwera serological group in order to clarify their phylogenetic positions on the basis of the current demarcation criteria established by the ICTV.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v14061135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T05:12:27Z","timestamp":1653455547000},"page":"1135","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Current View on Genetic Relationships within the Bunyamwera Serological Group"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8730-4872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna S.","family":"Dolgova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Saint Petersburg Pasteur Institute, Federal Service on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being Surveillance, 197101 Saint Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marina V.","family":"Safonova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anti-Plague Center, Federal Service on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being Surveillance, 127490 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oumar","family":"Faye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Virology, Institute Pasteur de Dakar, Dakar BP 220, Senegal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5500-0169","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vladimir G.","family":"Dedkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saint Petersburg Pasteur Institute, Federal Service on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being Surveillance, 197101 Saint Petersburg, Russia"},{"name":"Martsinovsky Institute of Medical Parasitology, Tropical and Vector-Borne Diseases, Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, 119435 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2467","DOI":"10.1099\/vir.0.035105-0","article-title":"Recent advances in the molecular and cellular biology of bunyaviruses","volume":"92","author":"Walter","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
