| Lloviu virus (LLOV) | |
|---|---|
| Virus classification | |
| Group: | Group V ((−)ssRNA)

Lloviu virus (LLOV) is a newly discovered, uncultured virus distantly related to the well-known pathogens Ebola virus and Marburg virus.[1]
Use of term
Lloviu virus (abbreviated LLOV) was first mentioned in 2010 as a single member of a suggested species "Lloviu cuevavirus", which was suggested to be included into the suggested genus "Cuevavirus", family Filoviridae, order Mononegavirales.[1] The name Llovius virus is derived from Cueva del Lloviu (the name of a Spanish cave in which it was first discovered).[1]
Note
Lloviu virus is pronounced j’ɔːvjuː vaɪrəs (IPA) or yaw-vyoo vahy-ruhs in English phonetic notation.[1] According to the rules for taxon naming established by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), the name Lloviu virus is always to be capitalized, but is never italicized, and may be abbreviated (with LLOV being the official abbreviation).
Virus inclusion criteria
A virus that fulfills the criteria for being a member of the species "Lloviu cuevavirus" is a Lloviu virus if it has the properties of "Lloviu cuevaviruses" and if its genome diverges from that of the prototype "Lloviu cuevavirus", Lloviu virus variant Bat86 (LLOV/Bat86), by ≤10% at the nucleotide level.[1]
History
LLOV was disovered in Schreiber's long-fingered bats (species Miniopterus schreibersii) found dead in Cueva del Lloviu, Asturias, Spain. It has not yet been proven that the virus is the etiological agent of a novel bat disease, but LLOV was again isolated from deceased Schreiber's long-fingered bats in caves in France and Portugal, thereby at least suggesting that the virus may be pathogenic for certain bats. Cueva del Lloviu is frequented by tourists, yet no human infections or disease has ever been observed, suggesting that LLOV is the second filovirus not pathogenic for humans (the first one being Reston virus (RESTV)). LLOV has yet to be isolated in tissue culture or living animals, but its genome has been determined in its entirety with exception of the 3' and 5' UTRs.[1]
