Abstract
About seven years ago, the identification of arteriviruses (den Boon et al., 1991) and toroviruses (Snijder et al., 1990) as distant relatives of “traditional” coronaviruses incited a discussion on the taxonomic position of these three virus groups (Cavanagh et al., 1994). As a first result, the genus torovirus was included in the Coronaviridae family (Cavanagh et al., 1993). The taxonomic debate ended at the 1996 International Congress of Virology in Jerusalem with the establishment of the Arteriviridae family and the order of the Ni–dovirales, containing the Coronaviridae and Arteriviridae families (Cavanagh, 1997). These re–classifications acknowledged both the many unique properties of arteriviruses and coronaviruses as well as their intriguing ancestral relationship at the level of replicase genes, genome organization, and replication strategy (Snijder and Horzinek, 1993; Snijder and Spaan, 1995; Cavanagh, 1997; de Vries et al., 1997; Snijder and Meulenberg, 1998).
