Viruses with Biological Weapons Potential

Bacteria and Rickettsia | Disease name | Fungi | Plant Pathogens |
Livestock Agents| Toxins | Viruses | Secondary agents | Biological Agent Code Names

Unlike the listing of bacteria, the listing of virus names gives only those names in current use. Virus names do not change often and rarely do they change in the radical manner seen for bacterial names. Virologists are also quite conscientious about adopting official names for viruses so older names fall out of use fairly quickly.
