virus classification

Question

[AUROSHIS]

I have a lots of data about species of viruses and I want to know about the family information of those viruses. I have downloaded the ICTV classification table of 2020. Still I am not able the get the information about the family information of those virus species.

Streptococcus virus EJ-1            #N/A
Lactobacillus virus Lc-Nu   #N/A
Lactobacillus virus phiAT3  Siphoviridae
Streptococcus virus O1205   Siphoviridae
Mycobacterium virus Pacc40  Siphoviridae
Sinorhizobium virus PBC5    #N/A
Abelson murine leukemia virus   #N/A
Salmonella virus SETP3                Siphoviridae
Clostridium virus phiC2                   #N/A
Enterobacteria virus N4                     #N/A
Invertebrate iridescent virus 3         Iridoviridae
Staphylococcus virus Twort        Herelleviridae
Bacillus virus SPO1                        Herelleviridae
Vibrio virus VHML                         Myoviridae

Just because some names are not found in the NCBI taxonomy database due to naming inconsistency, e.g. Streptococcus phage EJ-1 is in, but Streptococcus virus EJ-1 is not.

Taxonomic information in ICTV is manually curated and thus it usually lags behind virus data from NCBI. There are many virus species in NCBI that have not yet been covered by ICTV.

As shenwei365 suggested, you can get taxonomic information of your viruses from NCBI Taxonomy.

So any command line option to grep the information from NCBI Taxonomy ?
