Controversy on Virus Designation: Alkhumra Sive Alkhurma Hemorrhagic Fever Flavivirus

Intervirology has decided to publish the ensuing letter
by Madani et al. [1] and a response by Alzahrani et al. [2]
concerning a prior publication [3] . As the letter by Madani
et al. was obviously not accepted by EID, Intervirology
feels that it is fair and appropriate to provide the authors
the opportunity to discuss what they see as substantial
errors in the work of Alzahrani et al. [3] .
Taxonomy is apparently a matter that raises emotions.
Disagreements between researchers on designation of a
new virus have occurred in the past, one only has to remember
the issue on HTLV-III versus LAV between renowned
groups of researches that was eventually cleared.
