"Snakehead rhabdovirus" (SHRV) is a novirhabdovirus [ [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ICTVdb/Ictv/fs_rhabd.htm#Genus6 Rhabdoviridae] ICTVdB Index of Viruses, Version 28, June, 2002.

It optimal temperature range for growth is between 28°C and 31°C. It is classified as a novirhabdovirus because of its nonvirion gene (NV). Coding sequences of its glycoprotein (G) genes were found to be similar to the three other presently-classified novirhabdoviruses, "Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus" (VHSV), "Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus" (IHNV), and "Hirame rhabdovirus" (HIRRV), with between 36% and 47% amino acid identity.
