Why are H13 and H16 restricted to gulls? H13 prefers fucosylated α2-3 sialosides, which were distributed widely in the respiratory tract and intestines of gulls but not in the colon of ducks. How cool.

“You don’t get infected by a species” - a reviewer comment on my misuse of Marburg marburgvirus as the virus that causes MVD. Making the species distinction is helpful. Renaming the species every 5 years (it is now Orthomarburgvirus marburgense)… puts us in line with every other branch of biology.
Before this hysteria spreads any further, a graphical explanation of what ICTV does and doesn't do. None of the virus names have been changed or will ever be changed by ICTV (it's outside the remit). Only species names have changed. This has been explained so many times... doi.org/10.1007/s007...
