List of Species Demarcation Criteria in the Genus

To demonstrate experimentally that a parasitic wasp carries a bracovirus the following criteria should be met:
  • Virions were isolated from reproductive tract of females of a braconid wasp species,
  • Virions have bracovirus morphology having rod-shaped nucleocapsids of variable length, with a diameter of ~30 nm surrounded by a double unit membrane, singly or multiply encapsidated in the virion,
  • Nucleic acid isolated from virions is DNA from multiple molecules (i.e. the DNA genome is segmented),
  • Reference specimens of the wasp host are identified to species by a qualified braconid systematic specialist and are deposited in an accessible insect collection.

    • Criteria that are thought to be of systematic significance:

  • Lepidopteran host range of virus (the non-replicative host),
  • DNA restriction map profiles.

    List of Unassigned Viruses in the Family

    None reported.

    Similarity with other Taxa

    Occasionally, very long bracovirus nucleocapsids are observed; at least superficially, these resemble baculovirus nucleocapsids. Ichnoviruses resemble no other known type of virus.

    Derivation of Names

    Braco: from Brachonidae, a family of wasps.
    Ichno: from Ichneumonidae, a family of wasps.
    Polydna: from poly (meaning several) and DNA.
