Until 1998, the familyFiloviridae contained only one genus,Filovirus.[9] Once it became clear that marburgviruses and ebolaviruses are fundamentally different, this genus was abolished and a genus "Marburg-like viruses" was established for marburgviruses.[10][11] In 2002, the genus name was changed toMarburgvirus,[12][13] and in 2010 and 2011 the genus was emended.[7][14]
A virus that fulfills the criteria for being a member of the genusMarburgvirus is a member of the speciesMarburg marburgvirus if it has the properties of marburgviruses (because there is currently only marburgvirus species) and if its genome differs from that ofMarburg virus (variant Musoke) by <30% at the nucleotide level.[7]
