The wide availability of PCR-based methods for the amplification of nucleic acids homologous to known viral genomes plus automated DNA sequencing have led to explosive growth of a new field proxy virus isolation. Typically genomic fragments are amplified and subjected to phylogenetic analysis showing that they are related to but distinct from known bona fide viruses. These new viruses are now commonly reported in the virological literature and are too numerous to cite here two studies are given as typical examples 1 2 . Although unintentional these reports may mislead the readership of scientific journals and the general press. Having no distinction between preliminary genome-based evidence and conclusive proof by biological isolation and characterization of a replication-competent virus blurs the meaning of new virus. To distinguish presumptive viruses known primarily through genomic sequence fragments from bona fide viruses we propose the term frag-virus . The frag-virus status may be intermediary between full recognition as a new virus as occurred
